Insurance Basics Explained

Understand the foundational principles that control insurance contracts before choosing a premium tier.

What is a Premium?

The periodic payment (usually monthly or annually) made by a policyholder to keep an insurance policy active. Higher deductibles typically lead to lower premium rates.

What is a Deductible & Co-pay?

A deductible is the initial out-of-pocket amount you must settle before your insurer pays claims. Co-pay represents the fixed percentage (e.g. 20%) you share on qualifying treatments.

Understanding Policy Exclusions

Exclusions represent specific hazards, events, or pre-existing conditions that are not covered under your contract. Always examine exclusions to avoid sudden claim rejections.

What is the grace period for overdue premiums?

Standard insurance policies provide a 30-day grace period from the premium due date. During this window, your coverage remains fully active despite the late status.
