How To Claim
How to Claim
We know how stressful it can be when your pet needs medical care. That’s why Potiki (together with petinsurance.com.au) makes the claims process fast, simple, and stress-free—so you can focus on what really matters: your pet’s recovery.
Whether you’re visiting your regular vet or an emergency clinic, our claim process is built for speed, flexibility, and transparency.
1. Choose How You Want to Claim
Option 1: GapOnly® (Instant Claims at the Vet)
If your vet is part of the GapOnly® network, you only pay the difference (“the gap”) between the total vet bill and what your policy covers—on the spot.
How it works:
Tell your vet you’re insured with Potiki and request a GapOnly® claim
The vet submits the claim during your visit
You pay only the gap once the claim is approved
No paperwork, no waiting!
Option 2: Claim Online Anytime
Can’t use GapOnly®? No problem. Use our easy online portal to submit your claim after your visit.
What you’ll need:
A copy of your vet’s itemised invoice
Vet consultation notes (showing diagnosis and treatment)
Your pet’s full medical history (for first-time claims)
Simply log in and upload the documents—we’ll handle the rest.
