I’ve found the pet insurance companies that reimburse you for the veterinarian bills, but I was wondering if anyone knew of any companies that paid the veterinarian directly?

try CARE CREDIT, I got it when one of my dogs needed to go to the vet, It is like a medical credit card you can use on animals and humans
In the US, pet insurance is a type of indemnity insurance which means it works on the reimbursement model. All pet insurance companies will reimburse you after you pay the bill. The up-side of this is that you can go to any vet you want and not be limited to a selective list of clinics.
However, I have heard of some companies that will send the check directly to the vet in certain circumstances. I have my dog insured with Trupanion, and know that in some cases, they will pay the vet directly, but I think it’s just for really large bills (?).
You’d have to talk to each insurer individually, but probably some of them would be willing to make special arrangements in some cases.
