I am ready to take a fecal sample in to the vet. I have the VPI standard plan. Does anyone know if that standard plan will pay anything towards the fecal test and any meds that Gracie might need? I know it won't pay for special food or supplements. The policy just does not clearly state one way or the other. Gracie has 3 1/2 months left on her puppy package I bought from the Vet so the office visit is already paid for. Thanks for any info you can give. |
I've got the Superior Plan, which covers the same as the Standard, but boasts higher reimbursements. The fecal exam is covered by their routine care endorsement, a rider you can opt to add on for about $9 a month. The base medical plans do not cover fecal tests, as they try to encourage this as a yearly preventive care procedure. However, if the test is done when something is obviously wrong with the pet, they'll still reimburse if you have the rider. Did that make sense??
