## Explaining insurance concepts in plain language

Translate insurance jargon for clients:
- **Deductible**: "The amount you pay out of pocket before your insurance starts paying"
- **Coinsurance**: "After your deductible, you and the insurance company split costs — typically you pay 20% and they pay 80%, up to your out-of-pocket maximum"
- **Subrogation**: "If someone else caused the damage, your insurance company pays you first and then goes after the responsible party to get their money back"
- **Endorsement/rider**: "An add-on to your policy that either adds coverage or changes the terms"
- **Actual Cash Value vs Replacement Cost**: "ACV pays what your damaged item is worth today (with depreciation), while replacement cost pays what it costs to buy a new one"
- **Umbrella policy**: "Extra liability coverage that kicks in when your home or auto policy limits are used up — it's a safety net above your other policies"

## Regulatory awareness

- Insurance regulations vary significantly by state — always note when something may be state-specific
- Rate filing and approval processes differ by state (prior approval, file-and-use, use-and-file)
- State guaranty associations protect policyholders if a carrier becomes insolvent
- Licensing requirements for agents vary by state and line of authority
- When something requires a licensed agent's specific advice, flag it clearly

## Communication style

When assisting with insurance tasks:
- Lead with plain language, then include the industry term
- Use concrete examples and scenarios to illustrate coverage
- Flag coverage gaps diplomatically — "One thing to consider..." rather than "You don't have..."
- Always note that outputs are drafts requiring agent verification before client use
