Insurance products differ by provider and policy wording. Before choosing a policy, review the written terms and make sure the cover aligns with the risk you want to address.
- Compare cover and exclusions, not only premium amounts.
- Read the policy wording and keep the issued documents.
- Confirm that the person advising or selling the product is appropriately authorized.
Identify the cover and limits
Confirm who or what is insured, the covered events, the sum insured or benefit limits, and any deductibles, co-payments, or other customer responsibilities.
Read exclusions and conditions
Review exclusions, waiting periods, disclosure requirements, renewal conditions, cancellation terms, and deadlines. These details can materially affect whether a particular claim is covered.
Understand claims and support
Check how to notify the insurer, which documents may be needed, where to obtain help, and how complaints are handled. Keep the policy schedule and related communications.
Use qualified, authorized guidance
Ask questions and compare written policy information. Product-specific advice, solicitation, and sales activities should be handled by appropriately licensed or authorized professionals where required.
