Pet insurance Issues in the USA

Soaring costs of treatment The cost of veterinary practice in the USA has almost doubled over the last 5 years to $19 billion. This reflects the increasingly sophisticated investigations and treatments available. Your pet can now have expensive procedures previously only available to human beings, for example a CT scan or radiotherapy. Is insurance for me? Research shows that 50% of pet owners want their pets treated, whatever the cost. The remaining 50% take a more pragmatic approach, seeing their pet as expendable is treatment costs become excessive. While pet insurance should be particularly attractive to the former group, the latter group would presumably favour avoiding the need to destroy their pet, if possible. Insurance would be an obvious solution to their dilemma. Conditions excluded from insurance Some pre-existing conditions and some hereditary disorders associated with certain breeds (e.g. German Shepherd dog's hip dysplasia) are excluded. Co-pay applies Just like any other insurance policy, you can determine the right percentage of co-pay for you. Rates are typically from 10 to 50%. Older animal surcharge As insurance fees are based on risk, there is a slightly increased premium for older animals. Generous Caps There is a limit or cap applied to the cost of a single treatment and the maximum allowed per year. These are rarely reached, even where expensive treatment is required. State Insurance Registered Your pet insurer should be registered with the State Insurance Department (Our pet insurance is registered across USA states)
