Why coinsurance matters
Coinsurance can change how a quote, declaration page, or claim payment should be read. In practical terms, it is about insurance-to-value requirement in some policies.
Questions to ask
- Is the amount flat, percentage-based, or tied to a specific peril?
- Where does it appear on the declarations page?
- Does changing it affect only price or also claim outcome?
- Can the carrier change it at renewal?
