Frequently asked questions
Everything else you may want to know about ManyPets claims for Chinchilla cats.
How much does Chinchilla cat insurance cost?
The cost of cat insurance depends on multiple factors, including your cat’s age and location, your coverage selections, and breed. Chinchilla cats are prone to certain hereditary health conditions, which may play a role in determining your premium.
How do I make an insurance claim for my Chinchilla cat?
It’s easy! Just follow these three (3) simple steps:
Step 1: When your pet is sick or injured, visit any licensed veterinarian in the U.S. for diagnosis and treatment, and pay as usual at checkout (don’t forget to ask for a copy of your itemized vet bill).
Step 2: Log in to your account at www.manypets.com/account and press the “Make a Claim” button. Enter the details of your claim, upload a copy of your vet bill, and press submit!
Step 3: Sit back and relax while we process your claim. We’ll send you regular updates via email so that you can track our progress. If approved, we’ll pay you back for everything we cover up to your reimbursement percentage and after you’ve met your yearly deductible*. If you need to contact someone from our team, please email manyclaim@manypets.com.
Does ManyPets cover pre-existing conditions for my Chinchilla cat?
Like other pet insurance companies, ManyPets won’t cover pre-existing conditions for any type of pet. However, we may treat past conditions that have been free of symptoms and treatment for 18 months (except for cruciate ligament injuries or hip dysplasia).
Does cat insurance for Chinchilla cats cover routine care?
The ManyPets cat insurance policy is designed to reimburse pet parents for accidents and illnesses, not preventative care. However, the optional, non-insurance ManyPets Wellness Plan can indeed reimburse you for preventative care, including checkups, vaccinations, parasite prevention, routine dental care, supplements, and more*.
Does cat insurance for Chinchilla cats cover liability, loss, or theft?
The ManyPets cat insurance policy is intended to cover accidents and illnesses, but not liability, loss, or theft.
Does cat insurance cover travel for Chinchilla cats?
All ManyPets policies cover cats who are traveling in any US state, Washington D.C., or Canada for up to 90 days. After 90 days, you’ll need to update your pet’s address.
Does cat insurance cover dental treatment for Chinchilla cats?
Your cat insurance policy may cover dental accidents and, unlike some pet insurance companies, dental illnesses. Insurance doesn’t cover preventative cleanings or over-the-counter dental products — but the optional, non-insurance ManyPets Wellness Plan does help reimburse you for these types of preventative care.
*ManyPets analyzes every claim on its own merits, subject to the terms and conditions of your insurance policy or Wellness plan. Insurance exclusions apply, including those for pre-existing conditions (only claims unrelated to an excluded treatment or condition are eligible for coverage). Wellness Plan reimbursement is available only for eligible preventative care treatments.
