Insurance and Protection
How to Read a Policy Document
What you'll learn
- →Read any insurance policy by finding five terms: deductible (what you pay before coverage starts), premium (your monthly cost), copay (flat fee per visit), coinsurance (your percentage after deductible), out-of-pocket max (the worst case).
- →Recognize that everything else in the document is detail.
- →Build the habit of finding these five numbers before signing anything.
Proof task
Don't just watch. Do.
Pull out one insurance policy you currently have. Find the five numbers in the first 5 minutes. Write them on a sticky note. Stick the note on the policy. You now know more about your coverage than 90% of people.
