PIA came through when we needed it!

published

We have had PIA Comprehensive pet insurance for a couple years. Our four year old Bulldog had to have surgery for an adenocarcinoma in her upper chest, which added up to ~$1500.
We placed a claim with PIA, which was a relatively painless online process (only made complicated due to COVID-19 situation making them unreachable by phone, but that's no fault of theirs really), they engaged the treating vet and took care of the rest. A week later, we got just over $1000 back (80% back minus excess/deductable) deposited into our nominated bank account.
Very happy with PIA's customer service and would recommend to anyone.

After finding out our puppy needed operations on both of her elbows we were very stressed about how much it was all going to cost. Luckily we were with PIA and they covered 80% of the costs. Thank you PIA!

Thanks, Reet for taking the time to review PIA. I hope your precious pup made a full recovery from her operations. Have a great weekend.

Very easy to deal with claims

published

Our cat was quite ill and there were several rounds of vet procedures and medication. Once everything was done our vet gave us the records needed to file a claim, and PIA was able to process it without any back-and-forth for more records. I'm very happy with the process, and the overall outcome now that the cat is better!

Really Impressed - Not only once - But twice!

published

We have had two pets covered under Pet Insurance Australia, and both times my claims experience (which is actually what's important!) was brilliant. We claimed for a major operation for our dog, and also for the emergency treatment for our puppy who ate a bone.
Id unreservedly recommend these guys as incredible - the claims process takes 2-4 weeks for resolution, but easily able to say i have been unexpectedly pleasantly surprised. also - being able to buy online and claim online etc is a plus.

Very reliable, I would highly recommend.

published

PIA have been amazing. I would highly recommend this company.
We had our fair share of health issues with our pup and they came through every time, except for pre-exisiting, so I would suggest when you buy a pup, you buy pet insurance from the beginning.
The claim process can be done online and also lodged through your vet.
It generally takes a couple of weeks to receive payment. You can choose how much cover you want and adjust the premium accordingly.

Bit of a drama to claim and insurance premium skyrocketed right after claim.

published

Claim process was messy. It was back and forth between insurance company who not only messed us about at a very stressful time, but also messed the emergency hospital about on the phone (after insurers asked the emergency department to call them to supply information).

Once it was all approved, our premium was increased by 43%.

The most reliable and effective insurance policy I've ever held.

published

I can't speak highly enough of PIA. They are quick to pay on claims, have a great policy that covers so much, online portal is simple and effective, customer service is great. I'm typically skeptical of insurance, but PIA is 100% reliable.

They also provided some flexibility and waived some policy fees for me as a loyal customer with 2 x policies during the COVID-19 outbreak, major credit for that and a great way to build loyalty.

Incredible value

My dog Pepita was injured in a car accident and as well as nearly dying she almost lost her hind leg. Thanks to teh cover with PIA we were able to not only save her life but manage to salvage the use of her leg. If we didn't have the cover we would have not been able to give her teh second chance she has!

Outstanding!

published

I am delighted with my PIA policy! It was simple to set up. All claims lodged have been acknowledged very promptly and claims paid equally promptly. I have been with PIA for approximately six years and have made numerous claims. It has certainly removed anxiety regarding our dog's (Wilbur's) health care. I have genuinely and enthusiastically recommended PIA to friends and other dog owners Wilbur and I come across and chat to on our daily walks. Highly impressed!

Questions & Answers

Felicity A.

Felicity A.asked

Pet Insurance Australia

Hi there, do your policy cover hip dysplasia, elbow dylplasia and patella luxation?

2 answers
lynda
lynda

Yes, as far as I know, as long as it wasn't a pre -existing condition.

Pet Insurance Australia
PIA Management P.Pet Insurance Australia

Hi Felicity, we certainly do cover for these conditions in the illness section of your policy, as long as there are no prior symptoms to taking out the policy. The cover for these conditions will be subjected to caps and limits.

All of our claims are looked at on an individual basis, however, if a condition has shown signs or symptoms prior to coverage, than it may be excluded as a pre-existing condition. A pre-existing condition may be reviewed 18 months after the policy has been kept and may possibly covered, provided it has shown no signs or symptoms within this time.

After this timeframe if you wish to have the condition reviewed we do have a Pre-existing Condition review form further information can be found in our Product Disclosure Statement on page 25 under “Pre-Existing condition review”. I hope this has answered your questions. Would you like me to have a PIA Policy Expert reach out? Thanks, have a great day.
