Pet insurance in Pennsylvania
Effective around December 2024 (180 days after the June 10, 2024 signing), Pennsylvania's pet insurance law gives buyers a 30-day right to examine and return a new policy for a full refund unless a claim has been filed, requires insurers to disclose exclusions, waiting periods, deductibles and how claim payments are calculated in a document titled 'Insurer Disclosure of Important Policy Provisions,' caps illness and orthopedic-condition waiting periods at 30 days with none allowed for accidents, and requires wellness programs to be sold and priced separately from insurance.
