Lucie’s friend thought he had purchased a Claim Paying Policy but found out too late it was a Premium Paying Policy instead.
WHAT’S A PREMIUM PAYING POLICY? There are two types of policies. One is less expensive than the other and it’s the Premium Paying Policy. The more expensive policy is the Claim Paying Policy. People who don’t read their policies often learn later they purchased the less expensive but more costly Premium Paying Policy.
WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE? Under a Premium Paying Policy you benefit by paying premium for coverage you think you have but don’t while under the Claim Paying Policy you benefit by paying premium for coverage you know you have in return for claims paid.
HOW DOES ONE KNOW THEY HAVE A CLAIM PAYING POLICY? When they file a loss.
