Types of Pet Insurance Employee Benefits
The three types of pet insurance offered as employee benefits.
Here at AstroPaws, we think the PetPartners plans are pretty great. That's why we partnered with them to distribute their benefits to like-minded companies. But we want you to make your decision on what type of pet insurance plan makes sense for your employees. To do that, you should understand the different plans currently being sold on the market.
Discount Codes
The most straightforward and common type of pet insurance benefit offered by employers is basically a discount code. How it works is pretty simple: a discount code or link is given to both new and existing employees so they can sign up on their own. While this might seem like a nice, easy benefit at first, the truth is these discount codes are often easily found online, making the "benefit" more like just a regular referral than something special for employees. Most pet insurance companies have these kinds of plans to attract more customers. There's nothing really wrong with that, but it's more of a small extra or perk than a real employee benefit. If your company is looking for a quick and easy way to add something extra to your job postings on LinkedIn, this could be a good option.

Group Incentive Plans
The next level up from the basic discount codes are Group Incentive Plans. Some well-known companies offering these are Nationwide and Wishbone. Signing up for these plans is similar to how you'd use a discount code: your employees can sign up on their own, even outside the usual enrollment period. With these plans, there's a nice twist: employers can choose to help out by either contributing towards the cost or covering it entirely through payroll deductions. This can make things more affordable for everyone. Group incentive plans are a step up because they offer unique perks that really benefit employees, and they also give employers more say in how enrollment is handled. However, these plans can get a bit tricky. With so many different rates for various types of pets and a bunch of different renewal dates to keep track of, they can be a headache for your HR team to manage.

One Rate Plans
These plans keep all the good stuff from group incentive plans but make everything a lot simpler. They offer a single rate for all dogs and another for all cats, no matter their age, breed, or any health issues they might have. Plus, they line up renewal times with the usual enrollment period. This means your older dog, who might have cost a lot to insure with other plans, will have the same low and affordable rate as when they were younger. Another great feature is that after a year with the plan, it even covers conditions your pet had before you signed up. This kind of coverage is pretty special and not something you see often. Right now, PetPartners is the only company offering these kinds of plans. That's why we chose to work with them – we think pets deserve the best care possible.
