A related condition is when one health issue is medically linked to another.
Sometimes one illness can lead to complications or secondary problems. When that happens, we usually treat them as one condition, because theyâre connected.
For example:
Diabetes can lead to cataracts
Allergies can cause recurring skin infections
An ear infection can develop into ongoing ear problems
What does that mean for your claim?
If your pet develops a condition thatâs linked to something theyâre already being treated for:
Itâs usually handled as part of the same condition
You normally wonât pay a new excess again in the same policy year
The costs count towards the same condition limit
