Plan Options for Dogs & Cats

A deductible is the amount that must be paid out of pocket before insurance reimbursement begins. Pets Best Insurance plans have per-incident deductibles, which means the deductible must be met for each separate incident. An incident is defined as a specifically identifiable accident or illness. Recurring and/or chronic conditions are considered as one incident. The advantage of a per-incident deductible over an annual deductible is that if your pet has a chronic condition, the deductible only needs to be met one time and not once per year.
All Pets Best Insurance plans reimburse 80%, after a deductible, up to the per-incident limit of the plan you choose. The per-incident limit is the maximum amount Pets Best Insurance will reimburse you for any one incident. An incident is defined as a specifically identifiable accident or illness. If a pet develops a chronic or recurring condition after the waiting period, Pets Best Insurance will continue to cover treatment costs until the per-incident limit has been met.
