Felix Cares was designed for social good, it is our “give-back program.” Each year, Felix Cares will make a donation to one of our partner charities for every new policy in that given year.

A waiting period is the number of days specified in the policy that must pass before coverage begins. 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 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.

Inherited condition refers to the presence of an illness or condition that is determined by genetic factors. Some examples are heart disease, type ll diabetes, feline lower urinary tract disease (FLUD), and arthritis. Widely accepted veterinarian research and studies on genetics are used to determine those conditions considered hereditary or congenital. A 30 day waiting period applies.
