Reporting a Claim or Veterinary Issue

When to Report
It is a requirement of your equine insurance contract that you immediately report any accident, illness, injury, surgery, death or theft of your insured horse. Failure to do so could jeopardize your coverage.
A good rule of thumb is to report any incident that requires your animal to be seen or treated by a veterinarian, for any reason, other than routine vaccinations, de worming, etc.

How to Report a Claim or Veterinary Issue
A claim information card and the contact information specific for your policy will be included with your policy. We encourage you to provide this information to the person(s) responsible for your horse. We also encourage you to keep the information in an assessable place in the event of an emergency - and, as a back up, an Independent Equine Agents representative is on call to assist you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at (800) 346-8880. We will gladly take the information and pass it along to the insurance company claim representative who will process your claim and incident report.
