Filing a pet insurance claim
To file a claim, the process varies by vendor:
Trupanion:
When you schedule your appointment, ask your vet if they have Trupanion’s patented software and can submit claims for you. And if your veterinarian is set up to accept direct payments from Trupanion, you would just pay your portion of the veterinary invoice at checkout, and Trupanion can often take care of the rest within minutes. You’ll first need to meet your deductible, then co-insurance will apply. If your veterinarian is not set up to receive direct payments, Trupanion can reimburse you quickly.
All they need is a copy of your itemized invoice and a few details about your claim, which you can submit through the Member Portal or by mail:
Through Member Portal:
-
Visit the Member Portal. Use your Chewy account to access https://www.chewy.com/pet-insurance/policies/dashboard.

Does my CarePlus plan cover pre-existing conditions?
CarePlus doesn’t have plans that cover pre-existing conditions. This is typical for pet insurance companies.
However, if your pet is diagnosed with a condition that is treatable and fully resolves, like parvovirus, coverage may be available for that condition in the future. And you can still get coverage for future costly emergencies and new conditions that show up. Pre-existing conditions do not determine your eligibility for coverage or your premium price; they simply determine what we are able to cover.

Trupanion insurance plans: After your waiting period ends, Trupanion will review your pet's medical history and compile any past conditions that may impact your pet's insurance coverage (does not apply to Accident Only plans). You can request this information from Trupanion.
-
Lemonade insurance plans: Lemonade will review your pet's medical history and determine what they consider to be a pre-existing condition.
-
Wellness Plans: Pre-existing conditions do not apply for wellness add-ons.

What can I expect for my current premium and future rates?
Based on your enrollment date, this will be your monthly billing date for your selected payment method. Your rate will remain the same until the renewal period, unless you move or update your pet’s information. At renewal, any rate changes will be communicated in advance for both Trupanion and Lemonade. Rate changes can be a result of multiple factors like location, the costs of vet care, and health trends. Rates will never increase because you file a claim or use your coverage. For Trupanion plans, rates will never increase due solely to the age of the pet.
