What does the term "Deductible" mean in a home owners insura

Posted on: 27th Nov, 2007 07:07 am
I see the word "deductible" in a home owners insurance policy. What is the significance of this term and what does that signify??
ravik,

Deductible is the amount the insured would have to pay before the insurance company pays toward the claim. I will put a simple example below:

$5000 bill for repair
$2000 DEDUCTIBLE (amount the policy holder would pay)
$3000 insurance company would pay

Generally, the lower the deductible, the higher the insurance policy premium.

Hello Ravik,

In an insurance policy, deductible is the portion that the insured has to pay before the insurance company's coverage plan begins.
