Four key terms every pet owner must understand before signing a policy.
Bilateral Exclusion
A clause stating that if a condition occurs on one side of the body, the other side is permanently excluded.
Curable Pre-existing
Conditions like ear infections that can be covered again after a symptom-free 'lookback' period.
Lookback Period
The window of time (usually 12-24 months) an insurer looks at prior medical records to find pre-existing conditions.
Waiting Period
The mandatory window after enrollment where no claims can be filed. Varies wildly for ortho issues.
