What is a pet insurance waiting period?
The 15-day waiting period, which begins the day after you enroll, is a set period of time before your coverage kicks in and you can be paid back for claims. Here’s what you need to know about the waiting period:
- We cover injuries and illnesses that occur after the waiting period is over.
- Any claims you submit during the waiting period will not be covered.
- Any injury or illness that occurs during the waiting period will be considered a pre-existing condition, which means it won’t be eligible for coverage.
There’s also a 6-month waiting period before injuries of the hips and knees can be covered.
You can waive the waiting period for knee injuries by having your pet examined by a vet in the first 30 days of your policy to determine that they don’t have any relevant pre-existing conditions.
