MAJOR MEDICAL
After a per claim deductible, this coverage pays most veterinary medical and surgical expenses up to $5,000 or $12,500 per claim depending on the major medical endorsement.  It is a form of health insurance on your horse and is purchased as an addition (endorsement) to the Full Mortality policy. Coverage applies to medical or surgical treatment, including diagnostic procedures, performed by a licensed veterinarian as a result of accident, sickness or disease and must be approved by the insurance company ahead of any procedure.  Read the endorsement to see what exclusions applied. Horses between the ages of 30 days and 15-16 years, depending on the insurance company, are eligible for this coverage. 

SURGICAL
After a deductible, Surgical Expenses Only coverage covers up to the amount of coverage purchased of surgical expenses incurred to save the life of a covered animal when the surgery is required as a direct result of a covered accident, sickness or disease.

LOSS OF USE

Will pay 60& of the insured mortality value if your horse becomes totally and permanently unfit to perform its use as specified in the policy on your horse and is available as an addition (endorsement) to the Full Mortality policy and Major Medical policy. This coverage is only available on performance horses, i.e. halter horses and breeding stallions  are not eligible, and would apply if your horse becomes totally and permanently unable to perform his intended use as shown on the policy due to accident, injury, sickness or disease but the condition does not necessitate destruction for humane reasons.

LIMITED MORTALITY
Unlike full mortality, limited mortality only covers death due to certain types of accidental causes such as fire, lightning, and transportation.
