Deficiency

Insurance Term


Deficiency refers to the lack or insufficiency of something that is essential or necessary. In the insurance industry, deficiency is commonly used to refer to the situations where a policyholder has insufficient coverage to meet their financial needs in the event of an unexpected loss.

Insurance policies typically provide coverage for specific events such as accidents, illnesses, or damage to property. However, there may be cases where the actual losses are greater than the coverage limits specified in the policy. Such circumstances may result in a deficiency, where the policyholder is responsible for paying the difference between the amount of loss and the policy limit.

To avoid or reduce the risk of a deficiency, insurance companies may offer supplemental coverage options or require policyholders to purchase higher limits of coverage. Insurance policyholders are advised to carefully review their policies to understand the limits of their coverage and consider adding supplementary plans where necessary.
