Pet insurance in Tennessee
A narrower, longstanding statute that predates the 2022 NAIC Pet Insurance Model Act and does not include NAIC-style protections like a mandated free-look period or standardized pre-existing-condition definitions. It defines 'pet,' authorizes insurers to offer group or individual pet health/medical policies with exclusions or deductibles, and requires every such policy to clearly disclose the annual premium and the benefits provided on the face of the policy.
