Determination of Claim Payouts

Our coverage provides reimbursement up to the applicable annual limit for the actual costs for covered expenses that you incur during the policy period, after subtracting your deductible and applying the reimbursement percentage, listed on the declaration page.

Premium Increases Due to Pet Age and Geographic Location

Insurance plan premiums will increase as the covered pet gets older. Insurance plan premiums may increase or decrease due to the policyholder’s geographic location. We will not reduce coverage or increase premium due to claims history.

Policy Limits

Reimbursement of covered expenses is subject to the annual policy limit you select at enrollment and is listed on your declarations page.

Deductible

We offer a choice of annual deductible options. The annual deductible applies to each policy period. We subtract that deductible amount from the covered expenses before calculating your reimbursement percentage.

Reimbursement Percentage

We offer a choice of reimbursement percentage options. After the deductible is met, you are responsible for your portion of the covered expenses in addition to any amounts not covered by the policy. We then pay our portion of the covered expenses subject to the annual limits.

Policy Exclusions

This policy excludes coverage for pre-existing conditions as defined above and in the policy. Other exclusions may apply. Please refer to the exclusions section of your policy (What is Not Covered) for more information.

Waiting Periods

There are WAITING PERIODS that apply before certain coverages are effective. For accident and illness policies, a 14 day illness coverage waiting period applies to the first policy period. Any Illness, congenital anomaly or disorder, hereditary disorder and orthopedic illness that occur during or before a waiting period are considered pre-existing and excluded from coverage.

You may elect at your cost to pursue a Waiting Period Health Assessment. If you and your pet meet the requirements of the Waiting Period Health Assessment, then the waiting period may be modified. A copy is available online or by calling customer service.

In order for us to modify the waiting period, you must meet each of the following requirements:

1. A qualifying exam of your pet by a veterinarian that includes an assessment of all body systems and parts;

2. results of the exam need to be documented at the time of exam on our completed Waiting Period Health Assessment Form;

3. the qualifying exam may occur within 3 days prior to or 7 days after your initial policy effective date; and

4. the Waiting Period Health Assessment Form must be provided to us within 30 calendar days of your qualifying exam.

If the Waiting Period Health Assessment requirements are met, the waiting period will be waived to either the policy period effective date or the day after the qualifying exam, whichever is later. This waiver does not alter the pre‐existing conditions exclusion.
