The Company provides coverage to you for the Pet described in the policy and on the policy declaration page for the Actual Cost of Veterinary Treatment for any eligible condition, subject to the terms of the Policy, after the application of the Co-Insurance, minus the Deductible, up to the Annual Limit of the policy.
The formula for determining claims reimbursement is as follows: eligible expenses multiplied by the reimbursement percentage minus the deductible equals the claim payout.
Example:
| ($1,200 | Total eligible expenses of a covered condition |
| x 90%) | Reimbursement percentage |
| – $250 | Remaining annual deductible |
| $830 | TOTAL REIMBURSEMENT AMOUNT |
