An interview with Katie Huneke of Embrace Pet Insurance Company about their recently introduced product called Embrace 360 that allows veterinary hospitals to easily introduce their clients to pet insurance and electronically submit claims and quickly receive reimbursement. Instead of having to pay the veterinarian the full amount of the bill up front and then seek reimbursement from Embrace, the pet owner only has to pay the deductible, copay and for any uncovered expenses out of pocket. Embrace pays the balance of the claim by direct deposit into the veterinary hospital's bank account either the same day or within 24-48 hours.

At this time, only half of the pet insurance companies in the United States cover therapeutic diets to help treat medical conditions in dogs and cats. These diets can cost 30-70% more than the diet pets normally eat. This can present a financial burden on pet owners - especially if a pet has a chronic condition. In this episode, I'll make the case from a veterinarian's perspective that these diets should be covered by pet insurance companies.
