How does pet insurance work?
Once you sign up for pet insurance, there’s a brief waiting period, of up to 15 days, before any condition is covered.
There’s also a 6-month exclusionary period before injuries of the hips and knees can be covered. You can waive the 6-month exclusionary period for knee conditions and disorders by having your pet examined by a vet in the first 30 days of your policy to determine and document that they don’t have any relevant pre-existing conditions.
After the waiting period, you're free to begin submitting claims. Here's how it works:
Step one: Visit any licensed vet in the U.S. or Canada.
Step two: Submit a claim on our app or website by taking a photo of your vet documents. We’ll handle it from there.
Step three: Get paid back! If you’re using direct deposit, you can receive up to 90% of your vet expenses back.
Pet insurance that covers pre-existing conditions
Unfortunately, no pet insurance providers cover pre-existing conditions, which include injuries or illnesses that showed clinical signs before signing up for pet insurance.
