Not sure which forum to post this in but I promised in another post that I would report back on outcomes of my parrot insurance claim. I have Nationwide (the only US insurance that covers parrots as far as I know). I pay $288 per year for $100 deductible and 90% reimbursement and it covers wellness visits as well as sickness.
My initial wellness vet visit and lab work came out to $450(!). The insurance paid exactly what they promised: $286 (90% of total after deductible). So if I have to make any vet visits for the rest if a year, I should come out ahead. Plus I must say that on a tight budget, the peace of mind of knowing that potentially huge vet bills will most likely be 90% covered is priceless. Now knock on wood I won’t need it!
