How Do I Cancel My Healthy Paws Senior Cat Insurance Policy?

To cancel a Healthy Paws pet insurance policy, email a written cancellation request with your policy number to [email protected], or log into your online Member Center and submit a cancellation form. You are entitled to a pro-rated refund for the unused portion of your current billing period.

  • Submit your cancellation in writing via email or through the Healthy Paws Member Portal.
  • Include your policy number, pet's name, and effective cancellation date.
  • CAUTION: If your cat has an ongoing chronic condition (e.g. kidney disease or diabetes), switching to a new insurer will result in that condition being permanently excluded as pre-existing.
  • If your cat has a clean medical bill of health, switching to Spot or ASPCA can save you 30% to 50% on monthly premiums.
Bottom Line Never cancel an existing policy until your new policy is approved and has passed its initial waiting periods.

Step-by-Step Cancellation Instructions

Follow these three steps to terminate your Healthy Paws policy cleanly:

Step 1: Download All Claim Records: Before canceling, log into your customer portal and download your complete claim history and explanation of benefits (EOB) documents for your personal tax and veterinary archives.

Step 2: Send Written Notice: Email [email protected] stating: 'Please cancel policy # [Your Policy Number] for my cat [Cat's Name] effective [Desired Date]. Please confirm receipt and issue any pro-rated premium refund.'

Step 3: Confirm Confirmation: Healthy Paws will reply within 2 to 3 business days with formal cancellation confirmation.
