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.
