|

An insurance
broker acts as an intermediary between
clients and insurance companies. Clients may
be either individuals or commercial
businesses and organizations. Brokers use
their in-depth knowledge of risks and the
insurance market to find and arrange
suitable insurance policies. Insurance
brokers, unlike tied agents, are independent
and offer products from more than one
insurer, to ensure that their clients get
the best deal.

Insurance
policies range from motor insurance,
required by law to drive a vehicle in the
UK, to public, employers' or product
liability insurance, which pays compensation
on the basis of the assessment of legal
liability for damage, injury or harm. |

How a health insurance works |
|
| |
What are the
procedures behind a health insurance policy?
A health insurance program is basically a
legal contract between an individual and an
insurance company. Before sealing an
official health insurance agreement, all the
health care specifications including the
type and costs are specified. There are
different forms of payment obligations for
an individual who applied for a health
insurance progam. Some of these are Premium,
Deductible, Copayment and the Coinsurance.
There may be exclusions in a health
insurance policy, the payment for these
exclusions will not be covered by the
company and will be shouldered by the policy-holder. |
