5 reasons why Oneplan is the best pet insurance for your fur baby
The first moment your pet came into your life, your heart was instantly filled with happiness, love and care for your little (or big) addition to your family. It’s no secret that our fur babies are just that – a part of our families, homes, and hearts, and because of this, we all want the best for our little furballs of fluff, cuddles, and love.
The second bit of truth to having a pet is the vet bills, which can amount to quite the cost over time – vaccinations, routine care, and not to mention the thousands of rands an accident can set you back.
Check out our post on the real costs of owning a pet – pretty scary stuff.
People have health insurance, so pets should have it too! It makes sense, right? Instead of having to fork out a hefty bill after every visit to the vet, why not have your insurance help cover the costs?
The tricky bit often comes down to finding the right pet insurance for your pet and, let’s be honest, for your pocket. Not all of us can afford a hefty premium every month to help cover the costs of vet bills.
We are all looking for cover that gives us the best bang for our buck, and more importantly, pet insurance that is simple and honest in allowing us to know and understand exactly what we are covered for. Well, our paw-loving pals, we have great news for you – the search for the perfect pet insurance is over!
Ok, we know what you might be thinking – “I’m sure every pet insurance provider says that they are the best.” And you may be right – they do say that, but without the solid reasons as to why…
So, to help to convince you as to why we believe we are truly the leading pet insurance brand, we have put together a simple list of reasons. This is it – the list to trump all lists
5 Reasons Why Oneplan is the Best Pet Insurance (at least, why we think so!)
1. Get paid BEFORE you see the vet
Forget everything you know about pet insurance – forget about waiting for claims to be processed, forget about waiting for the money to come through for a claim, days, if not weeks after you had to pay the vet – because with Oneplan Pet Insurance – we pay you before you see the vet.
How is this possible? With our unique Onecard.
All you have to do is upload your claim on our app or online self-service portal and the funds will be transferred onto your Onecard within seconds! You then swipe your Onecard at the vet as you would a debit card, using your pin – and voila! Payment made.
You can read more about our unique Onecard and claims process here.
2. Keep your favourite vet
We know how stressful it can be to have to find a new vet that’s within your pet insurer’s network, especially when your pet has only just gotten comfortable with your current vet! The last thing we want to do is make vet visits even more stressful than they already are, which is why we don’t limit you to a network, meaning you can keep your favourite vet, or try out someone new if you need to.
3. Paperless claims and tech savvy app
Gone are the days of trying to find the paper receipt from the vet and try to process this through your insurance provider, not to mention the pages of forms you have to fill in by hand just to submit ONE claim! With Oneplan, our easy-to-use app allows you to process your claim digitally within seconds.
But wait… there’s more!
Our Oneplan app also allows you to:
- Upload and view claims
- Access your policy information
- Update any personal info
- Track your pet’s wellness and upcoming routine checkups
AND SO MUCH MORE
4. Zero Excess with an affordable Add On
Although pet insurance can help make vet bills significantly more affordable, there could still be the odd excess amount that you’d need to pay out of pocket if you’ve reached your benefit limit for the year. While much more affordable than footing the entire bill, these excess amounts can be rather inconvenient when they pop up the day before payday or after an expensive month.
That’s where our Excess Buster Add On comes in. From just R25pm, you can add the Excess Buster to your policy premium, which will waive ALL excesses! Yep, you heard that right. With the Excess Buster, you’ll never have to pay excess on a claim again, allowing you total peace of mind that your fur baby’s vet bills are taken care of!
We explain more about excess and our Excess Buster in this blog.
5. Exclusive discounts on your pet’s shopping
At Oneplan Pet Insurance, we’re all about adding value to your pet insurance benefits to help make your monthly premium even more affordable. That’s why, when you sign up for one of our Pet Insurance plans, you’ll receive exclusive access and up to 25% discount* in the Onepet Store, the place where fur parents can buy everything their pets need – from premium pet food brands like Hill’s, Royal Canin, Eukanuba, and Montego, to tick & flea, dewormer, grooming, accessories, and so much more!
By saving monthly on these necessary items for your fur baby, you could even end up offsetting your monthly pet insurance premium in savings… now that’s what we call affordable pet care!
So, if the above list hasn’t convinced you that we are in fact, the best choice for your pet insurance, then we’re not sure what will convince you otherwise. BUT – if you think that we are the right insurance provider for you and your pet, then why not take a gander at our range of plans right now?
