General

With a VAB pet plan, there are no “networks” of approved veterinary care providers to which plan coverage is limited. Pumpkin plans pay you back directly for all covered claims, which means you can use your Pumpkin plan coverage for eligible care from any licensed veterinarian, specialist, emergency clinic, or hospital in the US or Canada!

VAB pet plan, like most pet insurance plans, don’t cover “pre-existing conditions” that occur or show symptoms before coverage starts or during a waiting period. However, if a pre-existing condition is curable (e.g., UTI, paw fracture), was cured, and has been free of symptoms and treatment for 180 days, Pumpkin plans would cover it if it occurs again in the future, with the exception of knee & hind leg ligament conditions. If a knee or hind leg ligament condition occurs prior to the day after you purchase your Pumpkin plan or during the waiting period, any future ones won’t be covered.

It’s important to note that not all plans will cover eligible cured pre-existing conditions that occur again in the future, so this is definitely a plus with Pumpkin insurance plans! All that said, having an incurable pre-existing condition, or a knee or hind leg ligament condition, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t join the Pumpkin pack! Even if your pet has a pre-existing condition, you can always enroll them and get covered for new conditions that develop down the road. Have questions?
