Getting Started with Ark for Pet Insurance Companies

Welcome to Ark Gateway! We're thrilled to have you on board and excited to help you streamline your claims processing, reduce fraud, and improve your relationships with veterinary clinics. With our state-of-the-art technology, Ark allows you to manage your pet insurance transactions quickly and securely, ensuring both efficiency and accuracy.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through the steps to get started on our platform, from creating your organization to adding policyholders. Let’s dive in and get you up and running!

Step 1: Create Your Organization

To begin using Ark Gateway, you'll first need to create your organization profile. This is where you'll manage your account, configure your settings, and monitor transactions.

1. Log in to your Ark Gateway account or sign up if you’re a new user.

2. On the dashboard, click on “Create Organization.”

3. Fill in the necessary details about your company, such as the organization name, contact information, and your preferred settings.

4. Once completed, hit “Submit” to finalize the creation of your organization.

Now, you’ve set up the foundation of your Ark account. The next steps will help you tailor it to your specific needs and ensure compliance with industry standards.

Step 2: Fill in KYC Information

Ark Gateway prioritizes security, so to ensure we’re complying with regulations and protecting all parties involved, you’ll need to complete the Know Your Customer (KYC) process.

1. After creating your organization, go to the “KYC” section of your account settings.

2. Here, you’ll need to provide information about your business, including:

   • Business address and registration details

   • Legal representatives or directors of your company

   • Financial details, including banking information (if required)

3. Upload any necessary supporting documents such as your business registration certificate or proof of identity for your company’s directors.

4. Once all fields are completed and documents uploaded, submit for verification.

The KYC process ensures that all parties involved in the platform are legitimate, adding an extra layer of trust to your operations.

Step 3: Invite Co-Collaborators

Now that your organization is set up, it’s time to invite team members who will help manage your pet insurance policies and claims. Ark’s user management system allows you to create custom roles and set permissions for each co-collaborator.

1. Navigate to the “User Management” section from your dashboard.

2. Click on “Invite Collaborators.”

3. Enter the email addresses of the individuals you wish to invite, and assign them appropriate roles (e.g., claims handler, administrator, finance manager).

4. Once they accept the invitation, they’ll have access to the platform according to the permissions you’ve set.

By inviting your team members and assigning roles, you’ll ensure everyone has the access they need to work efficiently on Ark.

Step 4: Create Coverage

The next step is to set up your coverage options. Ark allows you to define detailed and specific policies, making it easier for your insured pets to receive the proper treatment while ensuring smooth claims processing.

1. On the main dashboard, navigate to “Coverage” and click on “Create New Coverage.”

2. Enter the details of the coverage, including:

   • Policy name and description

   • Types of coverage (e.g., accident, illness, wellness, etc.)

   • Coverage limits and exclusions

   • Any co-pays, deductibles, or reimbursement rates

3. Once you’ve set up the coverage parameters, click “Save” to finalize the coverage plan.

Now that your coverage options are defined, you’re ready to add policyholders.

Step 5: Add Policyholders

With coverage in place, it’s time to add policyholders to your system. Policyholders are the pets (and their owners) you’ll be insuring under the plans you’ve just created.

1. Navigate to the “Policyholders” section from your dashboard.

2. Click on “Add New Policyholder.”

3. Enter the details of the policyholder, such as:

   • Pet’s name, breed, age, and medical history

   • Owner’s contact information

   • Coverage plan selection (based on the options you set earlier)

4. Once the policyholder information is complete, hit “Add” to finalize the addition.

Congratulations! Your first policyholders are now successfully added to the Ark platform.
