(Reuters) - After Nicole Bodzon, 28, a consultant in Conifer, Colorado, paid $1,600 for her pug, Pepe, to have a possibly cancerous tumor removed from his eye, she thought she might benefit from an insurance policy.
But it took her a while to figure out how to maximize the benefits. A year later, Pepe had another tumor removed. Unfortunately, the insurance that Bodzon had since purchased didn't cover pre-existing conditions, so she paid the bills herself.
