Acupuncture, hydrotherapy, and chiropractic care are covered by some plans when prescribed for a covered condition.
A growing number of insurers include rehabilitative and alternative therapies (acupuncture, hydrotherapy, laser, chiropractic) when a vet prescribes them to treat a covered illness or injury.
Coverage and limits vary widely, and purely elective or maintenance treatments are usually excluded.
If your pet may need rehab after surgery, this clause is worth comparing between insurers.
If rehab matters to you, compare insurers specifically on alternative-therapy coverage.

After your deductible, the insurer reimburses your plan percentage (commonly 70%, 80%, or 90%) up to your annual limit. Use the reimbursement calculator to see the exact figure for any bill.
