Deductible & Coinsurance

DEDUCTIBLE: The Annual amount you pay out-of-pocket for the Actual Cost of Veterinary Treatment for any eligible Condition after the application of your selected Co-Insurance amount.

CO-INSURANCE: This term applies to both parties as described on your declarations page. The larger percentage represents our portion of the Actual Cost of Veterinary Treatment that is paid for any eligible Condition before the application of your chosen Deductible.

Claims Procedures

Payments for Claims are subject to: the terms of the Policy; any coverage limitations; Deductibles; and Coinsurance. We will make all Claims payments directly to you, unless we receive a written notice from you requesting that such payment be made directly to the veterinary provider listed on the Claim. Claim forms can be accessed on-line at the website address below or can be obtained by contacting Pets Best Insurance Services LLC. The most we are obligated to pay for Covered Loss is the lesser of the actual amount incurred for the treatment of an insured Pet, minus Deductible and Coinsurance; or the applicable scheduled Policy maximum benefit. The formula for determining claims reimbursement is as follows: eligible expenses multiplied by reimbursement percentage minus deductible = reimbursement amount.

Premiums

The cost of your policy may change if you change geographic locations or your Pet ages, among other factors. Your cost will not change based on your Pet’s individual claims experience.
