Great service

I've been with PIA for 4 years and they are always great to deal with. They always paid on time and never caused me any issues. I highly recommend them.

Quick and painless

published

The claims process is pretty straightforward, it’s all online, as long as you have all the information to attach then the process is quick, you will need the vet history included not just the receipts, but once I had submitted the claim, it was reviewed and paid within 4 working days.

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.

Very impressed!

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.

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.

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!

Claim issue

published

We put a claim in which I thought would be simple process, they requested I upload the medical report which I did, then 3 weeks later I received a letter asking for our dogs complete medical history. I'm sure this is a tactic to delay paying the claim or they hope that we will forget about it and put it in the to hard basket. The medical report I submitted should have been sufficient as the pup is only 6 months old. We are now looking for another provider.

Comprehensive Cover

I have the Comprehensive cover for my Dachshund since the beginning of February 2022 and I wanted to know if IVDD is covered if my dog has not shown any signs prior commencement or recently?

Hi Fiona just call them and ask them..

Pet Insurance Australia
PIA Management P.Pet Insurance Australia

Hi Fiona. IVDD (Intervertebral Disc Disease) is generally coverable under the illness portion of the policy.

The policy does not cover any Pre-existing conditions prior to the policy commencement or any signs or symptoms that have occurred during the Waiting period.

IVDD (intervertebral disc disease) is also excluded on any accidental injury cover (so make sure you read the PDS and ensure you understand exactly what your precious pups are covered for and what your policy allows - you can find this here - https://www.petinsuranceaustralia.com.au/important-notices/

PIA's assessment of known issues with specific breeds (e.g. bad backs) are taken into account in the premium calculation. IVDD is covered in our Major Medical Policy. Hope this helps.
