Buy-up coverage is the portion of crop insurance coverage for which a participating farmer pays a premium. Current law offers catastrophic (CAT) crop insurance coverage without any premium payments required of the farmer. Any coverage that is purchased above the CAT level is referred to as buy-up coverage, and is partially subsidized by the federal government.
