for example, the American Veterinary Medicine Association has an insurance plan for practitioners and students.

According to the guy who spoke to us, he said something along the lines of "You only pay up to Amount X. Ever. After this point, the AVMA will cover all of your further expenses."

Now. Amount X was pretty high. And the AVMA is a particular organization supporting a well-incomed career field in high demand globally, with particular needs and risks. It is certainly in everyone's best interest to keep veterinarians on their feet.

This is really rather irrelevant to the point, I know :P I'm just giving an example of a program that is the exception to the norm.

In case you're wondering, I think the premiums were starting at something like $160/month? Which is pretty damned high, but I guess if I was a vet making 80k a year, it'd seem not so high :P


Does seem a tad, er, well, not too relevant to what we were discussing. Out of curiosity though, is that the coverage for the vets personal insurance, or their malpractice coverage? It it occurs to me that most health professionals might be expected to have somewhat non-standard health policies, or for the latter, that vets don't get hit by mega-huge malpractice suits - yet - with million dollar pain and suffering settlements. I could see that being a factor ;)

Umm....if the person is still in that relationship, then it seems like a pretty smart practice to me Brian - 15/09/2009 11:34:00 PM 322 Views
I had that thought at first too, nossy - 16/09/2009 12:03:58 AM 332 Views

That logic is ridiculous. I could make that claim about anything. everynametaken - 16/09/2009 05:45:08 AM 297 Views
Do you have any idea how insurance works? Brian - 16/09/2009 06:12:10 AM 284 Views
Yes, I do know how insurance works. Using that as an excuse for denial is still unethical and sick. *NM* everynametaken - 16/09/2009 06:58:36 PM 128 Views

The margins of profit in the health insurance industry are so razor thin that they have to do it Brian - 16/09/2009 07:59:18 PM 306 Views
