Claims & reimbursement

How the payment model works

Lemonade uses a reimbursement model for pet insurance. The policyholder generally pays the veterinary bill first, then submits a claim through Lemonade.

Claim calculation

The amount reimbursed depends on the eligible treatment cost, selected reimbursement rate, remaining annual deductible and annual coverage limit.

Eligible covered cost × reimbursement rate − remaining deductible = claim payment
