How Much Does a Catastrophic Pet Insurance Plan Cost?
Catastrophic or major medical pet insurance by Embrace is one of the few pet insurance plans that has a high ($500 or $1000) deductible and offers you up to $15,000 in coverage per year with no per-incident limits. This means that you pay a much lower monthly premium.
How much lower? A $1000 deductible lowers your premium by 54% from $500. A $500 deductible is about 33% lower than the same policy with a $200 deductible and 50% lower than with a $100 deductible.
Please note: The $1000 deductible is not yet available to those in the states of FL or WA. Once these states move over to our new underwriter that option will become available.
Is Catastrophic Pet Insurance Right For Me?
Embrace's catastrophic pet insurance plan is ideal for pet parents who have a small amount saved up to cover the higher deductible. By paying just a little more of the veterinary bill in the first place with the higher deductible, your pet insurance can do its job more effectively and cheaply when the large bills come in.
The downside to major medical pet insurance is that you won't be reimbursed until you hit your deductible each year.
