Upper Age Limits for New Enrollments
Before diving into other factors, if you’re a parent of an older pet, your pet may not qualify to enroll in Accident & Illness pet insurance plans provided by USAA. If your pet is 15 years old, or older, you will only have the option to enroll that pet in an Accident-only plan.
At Spot Pet Insurance, we know that older dogs and cats tend to experience more accidents and illnesses. Plans provided by Spot don’t have upper age limits.
Microchip Implantation Coverage
Microchipping technology helps pet parents find and reunite with their pets if their pet becomes lost. Microchip implants are covered by base plans provided by Spot.
With plans provided by USAA, microchip implantation coverage is only included with an added Wellness Rewards plan, that you can add to your base plan for an additional cost.
Spot's Base Plans Cover Exam Fees for Covered Conditions
Spot's base plans offer coverage for exam fees for covered conditions. With a plan from USAA, policyholders would need to pay for an add-on in order to get similar coverage.
Coverage for Rx Food and Supplements Prescribed to Treat Covered Conditions
Base plans provided by Spot include coverage for Rx foods and supplements when prescribed by a licensed vet to treat covered conditions (not for general maintenance or weight management).
For similar coverage with plans provided by USAA, you’ll need to purchase the added Wellness Rewards plan.

Spot Plan Reimbursed: $3,874.505

First time using Spot
First time using Spot, and I'm pleased by the response. Filing online was easy, and form upload was very straightforward. The claim took 2-3 weeks to process, and I received email notification that the claim had been approved and that a check was in the mail. (Yes, a real, paper check.) After paying the deductible, my cat's ER visit was less than $200. Here's hoping I won't need it again, but cats ARE cats.
Stress Reliever
The insurance is made to do exactly what is meant. Having this insurance really helped when Dior unexpectedly got sick. I'm so glad I purchased it because it allowed me to not feel stress over getting her the help she needs.
