Insurance policies can differ in what they cover, how much they pay, and what conditions apply. Before choosing a policy, take time to read the current policy wording and ask questions about anything unclear.
Questions worth asking
- What risks and events are covered?
- What exclusions, limits, deductibles or waiting periods apply?
- How is the premium calculated, and when can it change?
- What documents are needed to make a claim?
- What are the renewal conditions and important deadlines?
- Where can I read the official policy wording and benefit schedule?
Keep a record
Save the policy schedule, wording, receipts and communications. Confirm all verbal explanations against official documents before you decide.
