Worried your dog tore an ACL (CCL) and the surgery costs will break the bank?
You’re not alone.
Most comprehensive accident & illness pet insurance can cover ACL surgery—if the injury isn’t pre-existing and you’ve cleared any orthopedic waiting periods.

In this episode of Your Path to Prosperity, we unpack how ACL/CCL coverage works so you know what to expect before you book the surgery.

Tune in to learn:

When ACL is covered vs. excluded: new injury after enrollment is typically eligible; prior knee issues may be excluded as pre-existing

Orthopedic waiting periods & exams: many insurers require 6–12 months (or an orthopedic exam/waiver) for cruciate injuries

What you’ll pay: deductibles, 70–90% reimbursement, annual/incident caps, and whether rehab/TPLO follow-ups are included

Insider tips: submit vet notes, pre-auth big procedures, ask about bilateral knee clauses, and watch for rehab limits

Because your pet’s best chance at healing shouldn’t come with financial guesswork.
