What to check before you sign up

Whichever pet insurance provider you choose, compare these points:

• Reimbursement rate. The share of a covered bill the insurer pays after the deductible, often 70% to 90%.
• Annual or per-condition. Most plans use an annual deductible. A few apply it per condition.
• Annual payout limit. Some plans cap yearly payouts. Unlimited plans cost more but protect against big bills.
• Waiting periods. Coverage for illness usually starts after a waiting period. Some orthopedic conditions wait longer.
