Frequently Asked Questions

Livestock Mortality
Q.
Can a Major Medical endorsement be added mid-term?
A.
Yes, the endorsement can be added mid-term, but a current and clean vet exam will be needed. All costs will be prorated and the endorsement will expire with the mortality policy.
Q.
Does my mortality policy cover gelding surgery?
A.
Gelding surgeries are not considered life saving procedures, so they are not covered under the mortality or medical coverages. Death as a result of the surgery, however, can be added to your policy for an additional fee. In the event that a surgery is necessary for the survival of the horse, the surgery is covered.
Q.
Under what circumstances can you use a Statement of Health instead of a vet exam?
A.
You can use a Statement of Health so long as the horse meets some minimum criteria: - The horse is more than 30 days, and less than 15 years old. - It is not a race horse. - There are no preexisting ailments. - Is under $50,000 in Value
   
Q.
My insured’s horse had colic surgery. Will there be a colic exclusion on the mortality policy?
A.

 

Generally, if the colic surgery involved a resection, there will be an exclusion for the life of the horse. If no resection took place, applications will be reviewed on an individual basis with a vet statement.
