California Insurer Disclosure of Important Policy Provisions

Please read your policy carefully for complete information on the coverage provided. If there is any conflict between the policy and this notice, the provisions of the policy will prevail.

ANNUAL BENEFIT
We will pay, up to the maximum annual benefit as shown on the Declarations Page, for the actual cost(s) of any medically necessary treatment your pet receives during the policy period. This benefit is subject to the co-pay and deductible as shown on the Declarations Page.
Regardless of the number of claims made our total limit of insurance for each policy period for all covered costs shall not exceed the amount shown on the Declarations Page as the maximum annual benefit.

CO-PAY AND DEDUCTIBLES
During the policy period, you will pay the co-pay and deductible as stated on the Declarations Page for the VETERINARY FEES coverage.
The co-pay percentage will be deducted from the total of all costs for a covered service. Once the co-pay has been applied, the deductible will be applied to the remaining amount. 

When the treatment dates fall into two or more policy periods, you will be required to pay a deductible for each policy period.

As an example, if you have a covered claim of $1,000 to which a ten percent (10%) co-pay and $50 deductible apply, first the ten percent (10%) co-pay is applied and $100 is deducted from the covered amount. Then the $50 deductible is applied and taken off the covered amount. This means that out of the original $1,000, we will reimburse you a total amount of $850.

Once you have met the deductible for the policy period, covered claims will be paid less the co-pay.

As an example of a claim where you have already met your annual deductible: if you have a covered claim of $1,000, the ten percent (10%) co-pay is deducted from the covered amount. This means that out of the original $1,000, we will reimburse you a total amount of $900.

No co-pay or deductible will apply if your pet requires immediate, life-saving treatment.
