Pet Insurance
Our pets are part of our families, and you never want to have to make financial decisions about their health. Pet insurances have increasingly given us more options than ever so we never have to worry about putting a price on a loved one's care, but there are a lot of things you may need to consider when purchasing a plan. There is no "one-size-fits-all" plan when it comes to pet insurance and it can be overwhelming when you start looking. Some considerations in finding a plan that fits your lifestyle include:
- Are you looking for coverage for emergencies/illnesses only or a comprehensive plan that includes your preventive exam, vaccines and parasite prevention?
- Are there exclusions such as pre-existing conditions/hereditary conditions/alternative therapies?
- The cost of premiums, annual deductible and limits on coverage.
- Your co-insurance level. Most pet insurance will pay for anywhere from 70-90% of all covered costs, but that means you are expected to cover the remainder.
- Ease/speed of reimbursement. Most pet insurances and offices still expect you to pay out of pocket and the insurance company reimburses you directly and will not pay the veterinarian.
