What's Required for Your First Claim
Itemized Invoice
The itemized invoice must include the total amount for your pet’s visit, including discounts, taxes, other pets, etc. This is usually given to you after you pay. Please make sure to include all pages of the invoice
Diagnosis or Reason for Visit
This is the reason that your pet was seen by the vet (i.e. vomiting, diarrhea, scratching ear, allergies, limping, etc.)
Note: If you submit claims outside of MyEmbrace online or in the Embrace Pet Insurance app, make sure to include the claim form(s) and all pages of the complete invoice.
Medical Records
Your first accident or illness claim can take longer to process because our team is going through your pet’s records for the first time unless a medical history review was done previously
How Long Do First Claims Take to Process?
First claims for accidents and illnesses can take up to 30 business days to process.
Your claim could experience a delay if we are missing necessary information (visit notes, invoice, diagnosis, etc.)
Claims for Wellness Rewards are typically processed in 5 business days or less as long as we receive all necessary information.
