Typical insurance, they'll get out of paying.
This insurance is a scam. We signed up within a couple days of adopting our two new kittens. They tell you to take them in for a wellness exam within a week or two after you adopt. We did that. This exam was, of course, within the waiting period. Fine, we paid for it out of pocket and didn't submit anything. One of the kittens had started having diarrhea so they did a fecal test just in case it wasn't just the stress of the move and food changes. It came back negative and our vet said to just give it a little time. Everything else checked out well with both cats--happy and healthy. Then a month later diarrhea is back and bad so we go back to see why. They do a PCR fecal test and some bloodwork. But because diarrhea was mentioned in her first appointment, now they consider it a pre-existing condition and cannot be covered. Imagine that, a kitten with diarrhea, as if that is rare. Now I have paid over $1,000 out of pocket and none of it is covered, or even goes even toward my deductible. I have to pay for insurance that doesn't cover anything that might be in any way tied to GI or diarrhea for another 6 months before they "might" not consider it a pre-existing condition anymore.
