There is a waiting period of 90 days from the policy start date for accidents, injuries and illness before coverage takes effect.
What’s not covered?
We would love to keep all our feathered and scaly friends healthy, but unfortunately none of the pet insurance companies can cover treatments of pre-existing conditions for which a pet has developed symptoms or received a diagnosis, medication, advice, or treatment before the waiting period ends. Our plans also don’t cover spaying/neutering costs and alternative treatments. Please see the complete list of exclusions here

Frequently asked questions

Which vets in Hong Kong are covered under the Turtle, Tortoise & Bird Insurance?

Unlike Pawfect Care, we don’t have a designated vet network under the Turtle, Tortoise & Bird Insurance. This means you can benefit from your coverage at any licensed vet clinics or animal hospitals in Hong Kong that provide services for turtles and birds.

Can I purchase a policy if I am not sure the age or breed of my turtle/bird?

We recognize documents such as an age certificate issued from a registered vet, so you may consult with your vet for assessment to estimate your pet’s age. As for the breed, you can select the type of your turtle or bird from the provided list when you apply online for a policy.

If you are not sure the breed and/or age of your pet, you may first consult with your vet, and ask for a written evaluation result.

Please note that the age and breed of your pet are the essential material facts of your policy, which cannot be changed after the policy is issued

Do I need to prepare and submit any documents for pet insurance claim filing?

The claims process is simple. You only need to invite the attending veterinarian to fill in the designated claim form during your pet’s visit and ensure that the pet’s name and medical expenses are clearly stated on the medical receipt. Finally, please submit the completed claim form, medical receipt, photo(s) of your pet during the visit (Turtle & Tortoise Photo Guidelines) and any necessary documents via email to claims@onedegree.hk to complete the process.

What type of birds and turtles/tortoises are covered by the Turtle, Tortoise & Bird Insurance?

We cover 68 types of birds and 53 species of turtles/tortoises. Refer to the list below for all the breeds that we cover.

Is there a limit to the number of vet visits per day covered under Turtle, Tortoise & Bird Insurance?

We do not limit the number of vet visits per day. When you file a claim for outpatient care including consultation and medication, you can claim back up to 50% of your eligible vet bills or a total of HK$500, whichever is lower.
