Morphology
uncoverable = coverable (transparent) = un + cover + able
Built by prefixing 'un-' to 'coverable' (cover + -able) to express inability, so the negative meaning 'not able to be covered' follows productive rules.
Etymology
Uncoverable can also mean 'not able to be covered' because it joins un- 'not', cover 'to put over', and -able 'can be'. That's why it is used for things that 'cannot be hidden' or that 'insurance cannot pay for' under a policy.
