Key Terms

annual deductible, reimbursement rate

2 terms

annual deductible financial

"customers choosing their own annual deductible, reimbursement rate, and coverage limit"

The annual deductible is the fixed amount an insured person or company must pay out of pocket for covered losses during a 12‑month policy period before an insurance company begins to pay. It matters to investors because the size and structure of deductibles affect a company’s cash flow, potential liabilities, and the cost of employee benefits or property and casualty coverage; think of it as a yearly threshold that must be met before insurance assistance starts.

reimbursement rate financial

"customers choosing their own annual deductible, reimbursement rate, and coverage limit"

The reimbursement rate is the amount a payer (like a government program, insurance company, or health plan) agrees to pay a provider or manufacturer for a specific medical service, drug, or product. It matters to investors because it directly affects revenue and profit for healthcare providers and companies—like the price tag a store gets paid for a product, but set by insurers and regulators rather than by the seller.

Bluegrass State pet parents can now get accident and illness coverage, preventative care, and claims paid in seconds

NEW YORK, Sept. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Lemonade (NYSE: LMND), the tech-first insurance company, today announced the launch of Lemonade Pet Insurance in Kentucky. Pet parents across the state can now get a quote in minutes, customize their coverage, and file claims directly in the Lemonade app.

Lemonade Pet gives customers coverage that they can tailor to their own budget and claims that are paid instantly rather than weeks or months. With this launch, Lemonade Pet Insurance is now available in 44 states plus Washington, D.C. – a meaningful step in the company's plan to make its full product suite available to customers nationwide.

"Kentuckians love their pets, and they shouldn't have to navigate an outdated claims process to take care of them," said Yael Cohen, SVP of Pet and Life at Lemonade. "We built Lemonade Pet to be the opposite of that – you pick the coverage that fits your life, snap a photo of the vet bill, and a lot of the time you're paid before you've left the parking lot."

Lemonade Pet Insurance covers diagnostics, procedures, and medications for accidents and illnesses, with customers choosing their own annual deductible, reimbursement rate, and coverage limit. Optional add-ons include vet visit fees, dental illness, physical therapy, behavioral conditions, and end-of-life expenses. Preventative care packages, including one built specifically for puppies and kittens under two, cover routine essentials like annual wellness exams, vaccines, and bloodwork.

Kentucky customers who insure more than one pet receive an automatic multi-pet discount, and those who bundle their pet policy with Lemonade renters or homeowners insurance save on both.

Kentucky pet parents can get a quote in minutes at lemonade.com/pet or by downloading the Lemonade app.
