Talk with your vet to make sure he accepts their payment arrangements. There are some of the insurance companies that want to dicker with what they will pay for procedures, as well as how soon payment is made. If that's how they operate the vet may ask you to pay him and let the insurance company reimburse you. have seen this in the automotive repair industry... people buy a policy to cover car repair... Auto shop has to fight with the insurance company to get paid. I know a few shops that won't deal with them.
