Before the bill

Pet insurance covers the next thing, not this one.

Anything already going on counts as pre-existing from the day a policy starts. That is why the time to look is before the visit that costs, not after it.

Before the bill

A policy started today won’t cover anything already going on. It covers the next thing, and the next thing is usually the expensive one.
