Claim Example: bilateral hip dysplasia surgery in a Golden Retriever
Poor Two-Row. Shes only 1 year old but had to undergo a $4,400hip replacement surgeryfor both hips before the age of one. Hip dysplasia is a hereditary condition and must have been very severe for such aggressive surgery at such a young age. Thank goodness her owner thought to get pet insurance for her at a very early age to get this surgery paid for.
Since obesity is the theme of the month, its worth noting that hip dysplasia can also be exacerbated by obesity (although Im sure in Two-Rows situation, that was not the case).
Here are the details of the surgery charges:
Two-Rows pet insurance policyhad a $500 annual deductible, a 10% copayment percentage and a $10,000 annual maximum with the prescription drug coverage added. Her premium is $36.66 per month (she lives inMA).
The payout for this claim was $3,691.43, which is calculated as follows:
