Insurance Basics

How to Review a Policy

Before renewing or changing an insurance policy, review the details that affect your coverage, costs, and responsibilities.

  1. 1

    Read the declarations page

    Confirm the named insured, coverage period, and listed coverages.

  2. 2

    Check limits and deductibles

    Understand coverage limits and the amount you may pay out of pocket.

  3. 3

    Review exclusions

    Look for situations, losses, or property the policy does not cover.

  4. 4

    Note conditions and deadlines

    Check claim procedures, required notices, and renewal dates.

  5. 5

    Ask about unclear terms

    Contact your insurer or a licensed insurance agent for clarification.
