A policy checkup is a thorough review of your insurance coverage to make sure it still matches your life, property, and financial situation. At minimum, you should get one every year before renewal. But certain life events should trigger an immediate review, because changes in your circumstances can create coverage gaps overnight.
Your renewal date is the natural time for a checkup. Review your declarations page, check whether your dwelling coverage still reflects rebuilding costs, verify your deductibles are affordable, and confirm that all endorsements are still in place. This is also the time to ask about new discounts or compare your premium against the broader market.
A thorough policy checkup should review your dwelling coverage, personal property limits, liability coverage, deductible structure, endorsements, flood and life insurance, beneficiary designations, and available discounts. It should also compare your current pricing against competitive alternatives.
