Filing Horse Insurance Claims
Your claim adjuster will take your information, and your horse's information to open the claim.
From that point, they will work with you and your veterinarian to address your individual claims needs.
If you have a medical claim:
-
Keep all invoices you receive from the veterinarian. The adjuster will need copies.
-
The adjuster will request a report from the veterinarian.
If you have a mortality claim:
-
Both you and your veterinarian will need to complete a proof of loss form and provide that to the adjuster.
-
Contact the adjuster if you have any questions.
