Trupanion Reinforces the Value of In-House Veterinary Pharmacy Services by Stressing Convenience and Care
October 12 2017 - 11:41AM
With the proliferation of big box store and non-pharmacy based
pet pharmacy services, Trupanion (Nasdaq: TRUP) continues to stand
apart from the rest of the pet medical insurance industry by
encouraging pet owners to buy pet medications directly at their
veterinary hospitals.
Clients with Trupanion-insured pets can fill their prescription
at hospitals and get their claims paid immediately at checkout –
the only company with the ability to pay accident and illness
claims at the time of invoice, 24/7. For many pet owners that means
they can leave the hospital worry-free with the medications their
pet needs right away.
This market-leading and unrivaled level of client service is
currently only possible through Trupanion. A leader in medical
insurance for cats and dogs, Trupanion revolutionized the way pet
owners are able to approach the costs of veterinary care by
eliminating claim forms and reimbursements. Participating hospitals
can send a claim to Trupanion with a click of a button – and within
five minutes, the claim is paid directly.
“Our direct pay platform takes the worry out of your pet’s
medical care,” said Dr. Steve Weinrauch, chief product officer at
Trupanion. “You leave the hospital with your pet and the
medications needed to help ensure their recovery. We’re the only
pet medical insurance company in the industry offering this kind of
service.”
With no lengthy approval and reimbursement process, pet owners
can afford to pay for their veterinary bill, including
prescriptions, immediately after the visit. There is no need for
them to wait and order prescriptions from online pet
pharmacies.
“When your pet is hurting, the last thing you need as a pet
owner is hassle and billing complications,” said Darryl Rawlings,
chief executive officer of Trupanion. “We want you to only
concentrate on the recovery of your dog or cat.”
