Yes and no.

There are supplemental insurance programs available - do an internet search for "supplemental insurance."

Programs such as these will help pay that remaining percentage - in most cases, a large portion of it at least.

Adding supplemental coverage can be a good option. I have an accident supplemental that does exactly what you are asking. It will pay up to $5000 per person per year for any expenses related to an accident only that your primary carrier does not pay. This means it will pay for deductibles, co-pays (like your 20%), extra services (your plan only pays for 6 physical therapy visits and you need 10) etc. Because it only pays what your primary carrier does not it is very inexpensive ($30/month for the whole family).

If you also want coverage in the event of illness you can also by supplemental products for that as well.

Almost every homeowners policy in the United States excludes Mold coverage now days. A very, very few companies will let you purchase mold coverage for an additional premium.

Bare in mind that if you sue them and lose, Due to Tort reform you will be liable for 100 percent of the Insurance Companies Attorney fees and associated legal costs as well as the cost of your own attorney.


Is medical malpractice insurance required in Idaho?

Mandatory Medical Malpractice Insurance?No, No state mandates that a Doctor carry malpractice insurance nor any kind of insurance at all related to their profession. Recent polls as of 2009 indicate that as much as 60 percent of private practitioners no longer purchase Medical Malpractice Coverage due to the high cost.

Even if it is not required, it is highly recommended due to the enormous liability you face when providing this type of service.


What type of insurance should you obtain for a moving company?

All moving companies are required by federal law to offer two types of coverage: "full protection coverage" which is based on the total value of all your belongings. This usually works out to about 1 percent of the total value. This is useful in case any items are lost are damaged. You will get the full replacement cost of the item. The other type of coverage is called ""released value protection"" usually calculated at 60 cents a pound. You should make sure you understand the terms and conditions as some items may not be insured. You could also add additional coverage to insure your belongings through a third party insurance company. This type of insurance is called ""relocation insurance".

What does sub limit on insurance benefit coverage mean?

A limitation in an insurance policy on the amount of coverage available to cover a specific type of loss. A sublimit is part of, rather than in addition to, the limit that would otherwise apply to the loss. In other words, it places a maximum on the amount available to pay that type of loss, rather than providing additional coverage for that type of loss. In professional liability insurance, sublimits are usually a stated percentage of an aggregate limit of coverage under a policy. For example, under a lawyers professional liability policy written with a $500,000 aggregate limit of coverage, there may be a 10 percent sublimit on coverage (i.e., $50,000) for punitive damages. In property insurance, however, sublimits may be stated as dollar amounts or as a percentage of the limit that would otherwise apply. For example, under a commercial property policy with a $2 million limit applicable to loss from all other causes, there may be a $100,000 sublimit on coverage for loss from flood, a $500,000 sublimit on loss from earthquake, and a debris removal sublimit of 25 percent of the direct damage loss amount. In both examples, the sublimit is the most the insured can collect for the type of loss to which the sublimit applies.
