What is Coinsurance?

by pavithra » Tue Jul 27, 2010 07:59 am

Basically, when you sign up for a coinsurance policy, you insure something at less than its face value. Insurers may do this because they know that a structure or possession can be replaced for less than face value, or because they are willing to pay some out-of-pocket expenses to keep their insurance rates down. If a claim is made on the policy, the insurer pays their share of the coinsurance while the insured is expected to pay any remaining balance.

The coinsurance clause is a widespread rule in insurance.It states that if a property is underinsured, the insurer is responsible only for that portion of the loss that the amount of insurance bears to the value of the asset.

You're entirely correct. But you also need to realize "coinsurance" is also used in health insurance.
