Pet health insurance

In the U.S., 70% of households own a pet,1 and 95% of pet owners consider their furry friends part of their family.2

Because pets are so important to employees, pet health insurance has become one of the top 4 voluntary benefits offered to support the financial and overall well-being of their employees.3

Teaming up with Figo, UnitedHealthcare offers customized plans designed to help keep employees’ pets healthy and take good care of them if unexpected illnesses and injuries arise. 

Helping pet parents worry less, play more

Customizable plans

Employers can choose between individually underwritten plans where employees choose their coverage or a group underwritten plan where the employer selects the benefits on behalf of employees.

Flexibility to go anywhere

With Figo, there are no networks to worry about or complicated provider searches to undertake. Employees can take their pet to any licensed veterinary practice or emergency hospital for care.

Time- and money-saving technology

All plans include 24/7 Virtual Vet access with a licensed veterinarian, which may help avoid a potentially unnecessary, costly ER visit. Using the Figo Pet Cloud, employees can get pet health reminders, see claims, access medical records, contact customer service — and even set up play dates.
