What is a sub-limit?

 Health insurance explained

A sub-limit is the maximum amount of money you can claim for a specific service, which is deducted from a larger annual limit.

For example, a policy might have a combined annual limit of $500 for dentures, crowns and bridges, with a sub-limit of $300 for each service. That means you'd only be able to claim a maximum of $300 for any one of those services in the year. If you claimed $300 on bridges, you would not be able to claim more for that service during the year, while the remaining $200 could be claimed against one or both of the other services.
