Claim on the spot and pay the GapOnly®

We are proud to partner with GapOnly®, a service that’s set to transform the pet insurance claiming process.

With GapOnly®, eligible pet insurance claims can be assessed and approved while you’re still at the vet. Your vet lodges the claim electronically, and once it’s processed, you simply pay the gap* - the difference between your vet’s invoice and the benefit paid under your policy.

It’s a faster and simpler way to manage eligible vet bills, so you can focus on caring for your pet rather than waiting for reimbursements or paying the full amount upfront.

How GapOnly® helps

  • Reduced upfront vet bill payments on eligible claims.
  • Faster claiming — most claims are assessed in minutes.¹
  • Less paperwork — your vet lodges the claim for you.

How to make a GapOnly® claim

  1. Let your vet know you’d like them to submit a GapOnly® claim on your behalf.
  2. Your claim can be assessed in minutes.1
  3.  Once approved and processed, you simply pay the gap (the difference between the vet’s invoice and your eligible claim benefit).

Find a GapOnly® vet

GapOnly® is available at a growing network of participating vet clinics and hospitals across New Zealand. Ask your vet if they offer GapOnly® or visit gaponly.co.nz to find a participating clinic near you.
