The deductible for the Patriot America plan is one time in the policy period or once annually, if you have the policy continually, without break for 12 months. If you need to have the policy continuously, for more than 12 months, then after 12 months, a new deductible would apply. If the policy expires, and you need to buy a new policy, then the deductible would reset again. The Patriot America Plan is available for a maximum of 2 years.
