What does a condition pre-existing for pet insurance? It is a condition in which your pet has an illness that insurers need to consider when determining the treatment they will pay for. While pre-existing medical conditions do not automatically exclude your pet from insurance coverage or treatment, they can make it more difficult for your pet to receive treatment. Insurers may be less willing to cover the cost of treatment. Your pet may be eligible for treatment if it has a pre-existing condition.
Curable medical condition
Before you can purchase pet insurance for your pet, you need to know what conditions are exempt. Pre-existing health conditions on either side of the body are usually excluded from coverage. These conditions include cancer, chronic diseases, allergies, hypo or hyperthyroidism, as well as other long-term illnesses. These conditions may be excluded from coverage by insurance companies or subject to waiting periods. Insurance companies may also not cover pre-existing medical conditions, if they cannot be curable.
Incurable is the first category of pre-existing condition. Incurable conditions may occur before the pet is insured. They can require frequent vet visits and medication. These conditions are not covered by pet insurance companies, but many of them could be covered once a policy has been in place. You should seek coverage as soon before your pet develops the condition. Bilateral conditions are another category that is exempt from coverage. Bilateral conditions may affect both sides and can be pre-existing.
Bilateral condition
It is important to distinguish between a preexisting condition and a bilateral condition when looking for pet insurance. A preexisting health condition is one that affects one side of a pet's body. Bilateral conditions affect both. For instance, hip dysplasia affects both hips. If a bilateral condition was not diagnosed before the policy's effective date, it will not be eligible for coverage.
Pre-existing conditions that are most common in bilateral pets include cruciate ligament tear and hip dysplasia. There are also exclusions for a preexisting condition that affects only one leg. The pet that has a bilateral condition cannot be covered for luxating patellas on its right leg. Bilateral conditions are not common, but it's important to know that the policy will only cover the preexisting condition.
Exclusionary Period
Both exclusionary periods and preexisting conditions are important aspects to understand. Pre existing conditions refer to any medical condition that was present prior to the policy being issued. While it will still be excluded for the first year, you can get coverage for the condition if you have an annual exam conducted by a veterinarian. The first year is the most critical time to get your pet's annual exam done and it should be performed by your vet before the first re-occurrence of the condition.
Pre-existing conditions can be treated in many ways by insurance companies. Certain companies won't cover pre-existing, incurable conditions. These conditions could include diabetes, cancer, hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism. Although this can make it difficult to find the right pet insurance policy, it is possible to simplify the process by comparing quotes from various providers.
