 4 Easy claim & refund options with MediPet.

Here’s how to do it:

1

Visit MediPet’s claims page to submit your claim online: claims.medipet.co.za

2

Provide all the details & as much information as possible. (Your vet does not need to fill out the claim form)

3

Upload clear & legible invoices, & any other supporting documents.

4

Click submit & check your email for your claim submission confirmation.

5

Claims are processed within 7–10 working days.

1

Complete all the steps in option 1.

2

Don’t forget to select the “Please make payment of this claim refund directly to my vet” box on the online claim form.

1

We will require a detailed cost estimate.

3

We may request a history from your vet or any other vet that may have treated your pet.

4

This pre-approval process may take up to 48 hours (if required over a weekend, it will take longer), & will be granted in writing.

1

Follow the steps in option 3 for a pre-approval.

2

Once approved, we will log the claim, mark it as urgent, & the payment will be processed within 4 working days.

3

The payment, less the excess will be made directly to your vet, not you (the member).

4

You will need to pay the vet the applicable excess directly.

5

After the procedure, you or your vet will need to submit the final invoice to pre-approvals@medipet.co.za

6

We will compare the final costs with the initial pre-approved payment & make any necessary adjustments.

6

If adjustments are required, we will either request a refund from your vet, or the insurer will process an additional payment, if needed.
