Employers are always looking for new and innovative benefits to offer their employees. If you’re thinking about adding pet telehealth as a benefit, you’re on the right track! Here are some of the most frequently asked questions about pet telehealth. What is it? How is it different from pet insurance? Read on to find out!
A. Most businesses offer employees standard healthcare benefits – medical, dental, and vision. But families aren’t limited to just humans. Vetcare as a Benefit helps support your employees’ extended four-legged family members with 24/7/365 access to virtual, on-demand veterinary health care through the Airvet app.
A: Airvet has helped more than 200,000 pet parents.
A. Airvet can be used for all sorts of pet issues including:
A. Pet telehealth is not meant to replace existing veterinary care, but to complement it. Pet telehealth gives working pet parents the peace of mind they need to fully understand their pet’s situation no matter what time of the day or night. Instead of rushing to the vet or ER, connect with a veterinarian through a simple app like Airvet, and get reliable veterinary advice in minutes – all from the comfort of home.
A. Pet insurance is an actual insurance policy with deductibles and copays. It helps cover the cost of veterinary care for an individually insured pet. Pet telehealth is not insurance. It covers all pets in the family and can help cut back on unnecessary vet visits. Because pet telehealth isn’t insurance, there are no claims to submit. Pet telehealth allows pet owners to consult with a veterinarian remotely, on-demand, using video conferencing or a chat session on their phone or computer.
A. Unlike pet insurance where there’s one policy for each pet, Vetcare as a Benefit covers all of the pets in the employees’ household. Whether the employee has one pet or five – all pets in a household can receive care.
A. When offered as an employee benefit, pet telehealth offers a variety of advantages to companies including increased productivity, reduced employee stress, and inclusiveness of all families – both two-legged and four-legged alike!
A: Airvet has over 3,000 veterinarians on the platform. We have a rigorous “vetting” process to ensure only the best doctors are approved to be on the platform. We also have board-certified specialists in behavior, nutrition, dental and oncology.
A: Airvet on-demand video and chat visits are available to pet parents in all 50 states and Canada.
