Pet insurance is for paw-rents seeking a financial safety net for accidents or illnesses that their pets might experience in the future. Pet insurance plans provided from Spot have deductibles, reimbursement percentages, annual limits, and premiums.
Once you have your custom pet insurance policy and have paid your premium on a monthly or annual schedule, you carry on as usual! When you need to visit the vet for a covered condition, you can submit a claim for reimbursement of the eligible expenses.
DEDUCTIBLES
Your annual deductible amount applies during each policy period. You must satisfy your annual deductible before your reimbursements start.
PAYOUTS
You get to select your reimbursement percentage when you enroll in a plan provided by Spot. Once your deductible is met, you will be reimbursed for eligible expenses according to the reimbursement percentage you select.
