Quick reimbursement by ASPCA Pet Health Insurance for unusual diagnostic and surgical procedures that saved my cat's life.
My female cat was producing unusually strong smelling urine, had no appetite, and was increasingly lethargic. My brilliant vet theorized it had something to do with the pituitary gland, so she did an ultrasound and found a mass adjacent to the gland. But because of the density of nerves and blood vessels she need a "better picture" before operating. An ultrasound specialist with equipment that provided higher resolution--at higher cost--was engaged, showing a tumor that was next to, but not attached to, the gland. The vet did the surgery, removing the tumor--which was malignant--and my cat recovered quickly. She is still doing well (knock on wood). The insurance provided through ASPCA paid 80% of about $2500 in medical bills associated with this claim. They dealt directly with the vet for any detailed information, and sent the reimbursement directly to my checking account. After this experience I immediately enrolled my younger male cat in the ASPCA plan...and a good thing too, he recently had to have surgery on his ear and the claim was again paid expeditiously. I can easily recommend this insurance!
