Prime Pet Insurance’s products

Prime Pet Insurance offers pet insurance options for Australians in every state and territory. They include:

• Comprehensive cover – Sovereign Accident & Illness Cover
  The highest level of cover which covers up to 85% of eligible vet bills up to $14,000 per year, comprehensive pet insurance coverings your pet for accidental injuries and a range of illnesses, including cancer. You can insure your pet from eight weeks old up to under nine years old, and you can keep your cover for your pet’s life if you maintain cover without any breaks. Routine care cover is available as an optional extra (for an additional premium) with comprehensive pet insurance. It typically includes reimbursements for regular vet treatments such as vaccinations, worming and other prevention treatments up to $80 per year.
• Standard cover – Imperial Accident & Illness Cover
  A standard level of protection which covers up to 80% of eligible vet bills up to $14,000 per year, covering your pet for accidental injuries and a range of illnesses similar to comprehensive cover. Standard cover – like all Prime Pet Insurance policies – doesn’t have an excess or co-payment. What’s more, your pet must be at least eight weeks and under nine years old to take out a new policy.
• Basic cover – Regal Accident & Illness Cover
  Basic cover will insure up to 65% of your eligible veterinary costs up to $14,000 per year, if your pet is injured from an accident or falls ill. Basic cover includes a lower annual limit than standard and comprehensive pet insurance and a $2,000 annual per condition limit. You can insure all breeds of cats and dogs with basic cover from eight weeks old and younger than 16 years old.

Standout policy features and optional benefits

Prime Pet Insurance offers a range of complimentary extras on polices. They include:

• cover for your pet while travelling overseas. Prime Pet Insurance extends their cover if you travel to New Zealand or Norfolk Island;
• emergency boarding. If you’re hospitalised for an extended period, they’ll provide your cat or dog with accommodation at a licenced kennel or cattery;
• paralysis tick treatment. In the event your pet gets bitten by a paralysis tick, Prime Pet Insurance will cover the vet costs after the 30 day waiting period;
• dental illness. For those who’ve held their Imperial or Sovereign level policy for at least 2 consecutive years, a range of dental services are covered if your pet encounters dental issues, such as gingivitis or abscesses. It may also cover tooth removal if required; and
• essential euthanasia. Not a pleasant thought, but should your vet decide it’s the most humane course of action, then your policy may cover the euthanasia costs – provided it’s resulting from a condition covered under your policy.

N.B. Pre-existing conditions and certain illnesses are excluded. Terms, conditions, waiting periods, exclusions, benefit limits and sub-limits apply. Cover does not apply for dental illnesses that were present during the 2 year waiting period. Please read the relevant Policy Booklet (PDS) for full details including policy limits and benefit percentages.
