What other policies actually covers
Other policies covers travel, gadget, pet, and the assorted covers that arrive bundled with cards and purchases.
The cover in plain terms
Travel, gadget, pet, and the assorted covers that arrive bundled with cards and purchases.
What it does not cover
Every policy has exclusions, and they are the part worth reading twice. Look specifically for waiting periods, sub-limits, co-payment clauses and anything described as "reasonable and customary charges" — that phrase is where claims shrink.
Where it sits in the family plan
Insurance is not an investment and should not be judged like one. Its job is to stop one bad event from undoing years of saving. Buy for the catastrophe you cannot fund yourself, and self-insure the small stuff.
