In order to process your insurance claim, this is necessary. In this case, you must make sure to check out the terms and conditions of the pet plan before you decide to pay your vet directly.
ManyPets

Animal Friends
Many insurers are now accepting payment to a vet directly, and Animal Friends is one such insurer. The insurer's Pawtal payment system allows your vet to access the details of your cover within an hour, pre-authorise treatment and pay your vet the same day for successful claims.
