homeowners policy)

,3. Excluded property (pets are not covered as personal property in the

war)
Extraordinary hazards are present (using the automobile for a taxi)
Coverage is provided by other contracts (use of auto excluded on

endorsement is a written provision that adds, deletes, or modifies the
provisions in the original contract

Rider Correct Answer-In life and health insurance, a rider is a provision
that amends or changes the original policy


Ex.) A waiver-of-premium rider on a life insurance policy


Deductible Correct Answer-A provision by which a specified amount is
subtracted from the total loss payment that otherwise would be payable


The purpose of deductibles are to:
- Eliminate small claims that are expensive to handle and process
- Reduce premiums paid by the insured
- Reduce moral hazard and attitudinal (morale) hazard


Straight Deductible Correct Answer-The insured must pay a certain
number of dollars of loss before the insurer is required to make a
payment


Ex.) Auto insurance deductible

, Aggregate Deductible Correct Answer-All losses that occur during a
specified time period, usually a year, are accumulated to satisfy the
deductible amount


Calendar-Year Deductible Correct Answer-A type of aggregate
deductible that is found in basic medical expense and major medical
insurance contracts


Elimination (Waiting) Period Correct Answer-A stated period of time at
the beginning of a loss during which no insurance benefits are paid


Coinsurance Clause Correct Answer-in a property insurance contract
encourages the insured to insure the property to a stated percentage of its
insurable value


If the coinsurance requirement is not met at the time of the loss, the
insured must share in the loss as a coinsurer


Amount of Recovery = Loss*(amount of insurance carried / Amount of
insurance required)


The fundamental purpose of coinsurance is to achieve equity in rating
