Your 30 second guide to veterinarian exams and procedures

Make sure that the pet insurance policy you get covers all the routine veterinarian exams and procedures. Veterinarian exams could be a complete pet health checkup with veterinary diagnostic tests included. That could be blood tests to check for anemia, white blood cell counts, blood sugar levels, heart worms, liver and kidney conditions.

Veterinary procedures could be minor examinations like eye, ear and throat examinations or slightly more difficult procedures like endoscopy,bronchoscopy or cystoscopy. In these procedures, an endoscope is passed. That may require mild sedation and anesthesia for a short time. So, there is an element of risk involved here.

Then, there are other veterinarian exams done to make diagnosis easier. These include veterinary imaging tests like X rays and ultrasound, CT and MRI scans. All these veterinarian exams may work out to quite a bit. If you have already taken a pet insurance policy for your pets that includes veterinary imaging tests, veterinary procedures and veterinarian exams, then going through any of these veterinary procedures may not work out so expensive for you. In fact, when you get a pet insurance policy for your pets, 80-90% of the veterinarian exam fees including expenses on pet prescription diets will be reimbursed. Remember, some companies promise to reimburse 100% of your veterinarian exam costs.
