You probably already have coverage for personal items through your homeowners, condominium, or renter’s insurance. However, if you have a number of expensive or unique items of significant value, the coverage may be minimal compared to the value of your goods.

Credit insurance provides coverage in the event you are unable to pay debt related to a credit line you accepted in the past, whether a mortgage, refinanced loan, or credit card. This form of insurance and what it provides is not well known to most consumers, so they typically don’t seek out the coverage. It is usually offered by lenders during the application process, and has recently come under fire due to its predatory use in the subprime lending market.

When selecting insurance coverage, you may find the wealth of options overwhelming. HMO, PPO, or Fee-for-Service? What about coinsurance, deductibles, and all the charges that come in addition to your monthly premium? If you’re healthy now, should you still get broad coverage, or wait until you need all of those services? What would make your monthly premium increase?

Unlike other forms of insurance, which are required by law in many states for their protective purposes (see “All About Auto Insurance), or optional insurance for valuables and material possessions (“Policies for Personal Items” gives details), health insurance is optional but extremely important. It provides protection of the policyholder in case of the “cough you can’t get rid of” or a major injury, or at least that annual physical.

Overall, 15.6% of Americans do not have health insurance. Considering the expense of major procedures, or at least how dramatically preventative check ups can reduce healthcare costs, not having insurance can be a losing proposition to the pocketbook and sense of wellbeing.

If you are concerned about your health, drive a car, own a home or condominium, or any of the above, you probably have some form of insurance. Typically, you pay for insurance with the hope that it never or rarely will be used; calling in a claim may mean you had a car accident, a house fire, or need extensive medical services. But in many cases, it is a necessary (and legally-required) evil.
