When you sign up for pet insurance you will have a waiting period before coverage starts. The time frame may be different for accidents and illnesses.
Veterinary pet insurance is known as indemnity insurance. You pay a monthly fee (as low as $10) per month. Then you cover the cost of care upfront, file a claim with the insurance company, and receive reimbursement for a portion of the costs within 30 days. You need to pay a deductible first and then a co-pay (The small fee that you have to pay when you arrive at your veterinarian’s office).
When comparing companies and plans, make sure to read all the fine print and ask lots of questions. Learn to choose the best pet insurance plan for your dog or cat. It’s better to take your time than make a hasty decision—especially if you buy a lifetime policy!
