What Is Pre-certification, and How Do I Submit It?

How to submit a pre-certification via your MyEmbrace customer account.

What is Pre-certification?

Pre-certification is a review of an itemized estimate for a treatment or procedure so that you know what is or is not covered before the procedure is done.

Requirements for Pre-certification

Itemized Estimate

• The estimate must be itemized. Grouped charges (e.g. “Dental Package”) can limit the guarantee of coverage

Pre-certification Form

• Pre-certification forms can be found in MyEmbrace by selecting Claim Forms & Documents in the Quick Links menu

• Complete form including the diagnosis or reason for treatment

Visit Notes, Chart Notes, Relevant Medical Records Related to Treatment (optional but encouraged)

Note: You or your vet's office can complete the pre-certification form.

How Long Do Pre-certifications Take to Process

We typically complete pre-certifications within five business days or less.

Note: If this pre-certification is in support of your pet's first claim, we will also need the detailed chart notes for your pet from the 12 months prior to the policy start date. We need medical history from every veterinarian your pet has been to over this time period, even for wellness visits. We’ll let you know via email if additional information is needed.

Is Pre-certification Required?

No, Embrace never requires pre-certification to process your claims.
