There are different ways you can submit a Pet Insurance claim:

1. Make a claim through your Vet

If your Vet Clinic is a participating GapOnly® Clinic, then your Vet can submit a claim on your behalf, on the spot while you are at the Vet.

Alternatively, your Vet may be able to submit an electronic pet insurance claim on your behalf (sometimes referred to as an eClaim). We will still communicate with you regarding the status of your claim and you will still need to pay for the Vet expenses upfront. For more information about how claims are handled, please refer to the Claims section of your Product Disclosure Statement.

2. Make a claim online

You can also claim online through your MyPet Portal via My Insurance Portal.

To make a claim, through MyPet Portal, you will need the following documentation:

Itemised invoice (a paid invoice that includes individual treatment items and costs adding up to the total amount paid); and Vet consultation notes, if you have them (these are the veterinarian's medical notes from examinations findings).

We may also contact you for additional documentation if needed.

3. Make a paper claim

If you prefer to submit your claims through the post please follow the 3 steps below:

Fill in Pet Insurance Claim Form with your pet’s personal information and sign.

Take the Claim Form to your vet and ask your vet to complete in full Part 2 and sign the form.

Attach the original detailed itemised invoices, payment receipts and any relevant vet consultation notes to the completed claim form. Please do not staple documents. Ensure your vet includes their practice details on the original invoice.

Then mail your completed Claim Form to:

Everyday Pet Insurance
Locked bag 9021
Castle Hill, NSW, 1765

Contact us on 1300 10 1234 during our operating hours for more information.

In some instances we may require more information to process your claim such as medical history or pathology/laboratory results. We'll contact you or your vet(s) if required.

Because all pets are different, each pet will need to have their own policy which is personalised to them.

Once you've covered your other pet, make sure you add their policy to MyPet Portal via My Insurance Portal, so you can manage all your pet's policies in one place. 

As with most insurance products, there are certain situations where you will not be covered. There are some general exclusions such as:

Conditions which occurred prior to commencement of your first policy period or during any applicable waiting period (‘pre-existing conditions’)

Dental procedures and fractured teeth (unless you have selected Optional Non-Insurance Routine Care on Comprehensive Cover or Comprehensive Plus Cover which provides specific benefits up to the Routine Care limits)

Routine or preventative Treatments (unless you have selected Optional Non-Insurance Routine Care on Comprehensive Cover or Comprehensive Plus Cover which provides specific benefits up to the Routine Care limits)

Some Elective Treatments and procedures and breeding or obstetrics.

There may also be specific exclusions which may apply to specific levels of Cover. It is important that you read all of your policy documentation for full details. You can find more information in the Pet Useful Documents section.

With Optional Non-insurance Routine Care benefit, you can claim your $50 Annual Benefit on either:

Vaccinations

Health Checks

Plus another $50 for one of the following treatments:

Desexing

Microchipping

Prescription diets

Heartworm preventative

This means the first amount of a claim we do not pay and which you are required to pay yourself as shown on your Certificate of Insurance (if selected as part of your policy). 

Note: The Excess is deducted from your benefit for each Condition treated during the Policy Period that is not related to any other Condition treated during the same Policy Period. Refer to your policy booklet in ‘Claims’ for an example of how claim payments are calculated.
