Appeal a “Coverage cap or limit reached” home warranty denial

The payout hit a per-claim or per-term dollar cap, or a sub-limit applied. Below: the counter-argument, the evidence to gather, and the state-specific regulator complaint channel — for every U.S. state.

Reference, not legal advice. Caps are contractual, but they must be applied correctly. Verify the cap actually applies to THIS item and that prior payouts were correctly counted. Sometimes a partial approval is warranted, or the cap was miscalculated against the wrong line item. Verify specifics with your state regulator.
