Maximum Benefit pet insurance will provide a maximum amount of money (maximum benefit) to cover the cost of treatment for each Accidental Injury or Illness that your pet may suffer.
Maximum Benefit pet insurance from Covermy. These can sometimes be referred to as per condition or money limited. The policy will provide a maximum amount of money (maximum benefit) to cover the cost of treatment for each Accidental Injury or Illness that your pet may suffer.
Each Accidental Injury or Illness is covered until the maximum benefit has been exhausted for that condition, as long as your policy remains in force. There is no time limit on reaching this maximum benefit, however once the full amount has been exhausted, the treatment of Accidental Injury or for that condition will not be covered again.
If You pet has received treatment for a particular Accidental Injury or Illness which appears in another part of the body at a later date, by way of example the other leg, ear or eye, we will treat as the same condition. We refer to this as a Bilateral Condition and this means the maximum amount of money will only be available once, not for each occurrence of the Accidental Injury or Illness even if it is in another part of the body.

According to the Association of British Insurers, the cost of the average pet insurance claim in 2018 was £793, more than twice the average annual premium for dogs and over three times that for cats. The average pet insurance claim has increased by 75% over the last decade.
Your benefit limit is £3,000, and your excess is £90, the maximum settlement made would be £2,910 for a single condition, assuming you claim this limit within one policy year.
If the claim spans two policy years you will find that the excess is applied each year.
Depending on the age of your pet, a co-payment may also apply, which is the amount that you are required to pay towards a claim (in addition to the Policy excess).
A co-payment is generally payable for dogs aged 5 years and older and for cats aged 8 years and older.
The co-payment is deducted from the overall limit of your cover. You can check your Quote Schedule to confirm the exact percentage applicable. This document will be sent to you once you have completed a quote.
This is for a single condition, assuming you claim this limit within one policy year, if the claim spans two policy years will find that the co-payment and excess is applied each year.
