What is considered a chronic illness in Pet CEO Plan® and is it covered?

Chronic medical condition is a medical condition that has at least one of the following characteristics:

a. Lasts 3 months or more;

b. Comes back or is likely to come back;

c. Is permanent; or

d. Needs long-term monitoring including consultations, checkups, examinations, and tests,

and shall include an acute episode of a chronic medical condition.

If your pet first enrolled in our Pet CEO Plan® at age 4 or younger, your pet can enjoy lifetime coverage of chronic illnesses. (*If your pet develops symptoms associated with a chronic illness before the end of the waiting period, the chronic illness will be considered a pre-existing condition and will not be covered.)

If your pet first enrolled in our plan at age 5 or older, chronic illnesses will still be covered for the first policy year they occur. However, the specific illness will be considered a pre-existing condition and excluded for subsequent policy periods.

Chronic illnesses can be very costly to treat. Make sure your furry buddy is covered by getting insurance at an early age!
