It’s no secret that insurance policies are hard to follow.
But learning insurance terminology is key to picking the right policy — so allow us to clear up a few key terms:
-Insurer: This is the company or individual who promises to reimburse you.
-Insured: This is the individual who receives the payment — except in the case of life insurance, where the payout goes to a named beneficiary.
-Premium: This is the amount you pay every month for the insurer’s promise to reimburse.
-Deductible: This is a threshold — it is the amount of money you have to pay out of pocket before your insurance kicks in.
-Risks or Perils: These are the events that cause damage.
After learning these few phrases, you’ll be ready to pick the perfect policy for you — but if you still need a hand, we’re always here to help :)
