Spay/neuter is elective preventive surgery, so it is not covered by standard plans — only by optional wellness add-ons.
Because spaying and neutering are planned, preventive procedures rather than treatment for an accident or illness, core accident-and-illness policies exclude them.
Several insurers offer a wellness or routine-care add-on that reimburses a fixed amount toward spay/neuter, vaccines, and exams.
Whether the add-on pays off depends on its monthly cost versus the procedures you'll actually use in a year.
Compare the add-on's annual cost to the procedure price before buying. The vet cost estimator can help you ballpark it.

Yes. Pet insurance never covers pre-existing conditions, so enrolling while your pet is young and healthy is when coverage is broadest and cheapest.
After your deductible, the insurer reimburses your plan percentage (commonly 70%, 80%, or 90%) up to your annual limit. Use the reimbursement calculator to see the exact figure for any bill.
