Just like humans, cats can get injured and sick without warning. The good news is that huge strides have been made in veterinary medicine, allowing our cats to often receive the same high level of care as their human companions. But those advancements have also brought higher costs, and like human healthcare, the need for cat medical insurance. When your cat is covered, you’ll never have to worry about choosing between paying your rent, mortgage or other bills and giving the best medical care to feline family member.

Premiums vary depending on several factors. The main factors are species, breed, age of your cat and the zip code in which you live. Felix presents you with the flexibility to choose the deductible, reimbursement %, coverage limits, and specific features you want to include in your coverage. We make available flexible accident & illness plan selections that you can customize to fit your monthly budget. With just a few clicks, you can get a quote for cat medical insurance.

A waiting period is the number of days specified in the policy that must pass before coverage begins.¹ There is a 2 day waiting period for accidents and a 14 day waiting period for illnesses. The policy has a 30 day waiting period for alternative therapies and behavioral problems and a 180 day waiting period for IVDD (Intervertebral Disc Disease). The waiting period begins on the effective date of the coverage period. As an example, let’s say you purchase a policy through Felix on June 20, your effective date is June 21. If your cat suffers an injury on June 23 (2 days later), your cat would be eligible for coverage because the waiting period for injuries and accidents has been met. The waiting period applies only to the first year of your policy. Waiting periods don’t apply to your annual renewal as long there are no gaps in coverage. Waiting periods do not apply for the 30-day insurance coverage plan (except in CA, NY and WA).

Pre-existing conditions are illnesses or injuries, that occurred or existed before the policy effective date and during specific waiting periods. Pre-existing conditions are typically excluded by all pet insurance companies.

Yes! After a 365-day waiting period, pre-existing conditions are covered same as other covered conditions subject to all policy terms.

Cat insurance works very similarly to human health insurance where you and your policy share in the costs of covered services. Felix allows you to select your deductible – the amount you will pay toward the healthcare of your cat per policy year. Felix also allows you to select the reimbursement % – the amount the policy reimburses you for the cost of care once your deductible has been met.

With a policy from Felix, the deductible is applied to your veterinary bill first, then your chosen reimbursement % is applied to the balance. This should seem familiar as it is how it works in human medical insurance. However, beware of companies that first calculate the reimbursement % and then subtract your deductible – that method saves them money.

No, there is only an annual policy maximum, which you are able to choose.

Yes. As long as you are traveling within the U.S. or Canada, your cat is covered.
