How the estimate is calculated

  1. Start with eligible charges. The calculator uses the portion of the vet bill you expect your plan to consider eligible.
  2. Apply the remaining deductible. If part of your deductible has already been met, only the unpaid portion is applied.
  3. Apply the reimbursement percentage. The remaining eligible amount is multiplied by your selected reimbursement rate.
  4. Check the annual limit. If the calculated reimbursement is greater than the remaining annual payout limit, the estimate is capped at that remaining limit.
