Insurance 101: What Is an Insurance Policy?
What Is an Insurance Policy? You may have an insurance policy sitting in your files, or downloaded to your phone, but do you actually know what it says? Most people only look at their insurance when something goes wrong. That’s when the questions come up: “Am I covered?” “How much will I get?” “What do I need to do?” Your insurance policy has the answers. Simply put, an insurance policy is the agreement between you and the insurance company. It explains what your insurance protects, how much the insurer can pay, what is not covered, and what you need to do when something happens. Think of it as your guide to your insurance. For example, if you have car insurance, your policy tells you whether damage from an accident, theft, or flooding is covered. It also tells you what you need to do if you need to make a claim. The same goes for your health insurance when you suddenly need to go to the hospital. Your policy helps you understand what medical expenses are covered and what you may still need to pay yourself. And the same goes for life, home, business, and other insurances covering several types of exposures we may have in this uncertain world. Why should you read your policy? Because having insurance doesn’t mean everything is automatically covered. Knowing your policy helps you avoid surprises and makes it easier to act when you actually need your insurance. Take a few minutes to check: What is covered? What is not covered? How much can the insurance pay? How much might I need to pay myself? What should I do if something happens? Who should I contact? And if something isn’t clear, ask. At Guevent Insurance Broker Corporation (GIBCO), we believe insurance should be understood and not just purchased. We’re here to help you make sense of your coverage and find protection that fits your needs.
