Vet Companion
Pet insurance letters and claim responses explained
Understand the decision, payment figures, excesses, co-payments, exclusions, requested information and stated next steps in calm, everyday language.
We explain what the insurer appears to have written. We do not decide whether its calculation, coverage decision or interpretation is correct.
Clarity before you contact the insurer
Claim responses can be difficult to untangle
A letter may combine policy wording, deductions, medical-history references and requests for evidence. We separate the information without agreeing or disagreeing with the insurer.
- See the stated outcome and main reason
- Follow the figures and deductions shown
- Prepare neutral questions for the insurer or vet

Questions to take back
Feel prepared to seek clarification

- What veterinary records are still required?
- Is there a stated deadline or review process?
Clear boundaries
Explanation, not insurance advice
We do not determine coverage, assess whether a decision is fair or lawful, calculate entitlement, guarantee reconsideration or tell you whether to accept or challenge a decision.
Use the appropriate source for advice
Questions about coverage, complaints, contractual rights or the insurer’s interpretation should be raised with the insurer, your veterinary practice or an appropriately qualified adviser.
If the letter includes a deadline, cancellation, missed payment or urgent request for evidence, contact the relevant organisation promptly.
Frequently asked questions
Before you upload
Can you explain why my pet insurance claim was declined?
We can explain the reason, policy wording, dates or veterinary history referenced in the letter. We cannot decide whether the conclusion is correct.
Can you tell me whether the insurer should have paid?
No. We do not determine coverage or provide legal or insurance advice. We explain the decision and can suggest questions.
Can you explain how the payment was calculated?
Yes. We can organise the figures shown, including eligible costs, excess, co-payment, exclusions and final payment.
Can you explain a pre-existing condition exclusion?
We can explain how the term is used in the letter and what history or wording is referenced. We cannot medically or legally decide whether it should apply.
Will you contact the insurer for me?
No. Clarity Companion explains documents for you. Contact with the insurer or veterinary practice remains your responsibility.
