1) Keep all your insurance documents in one place. Create a digital file or old fashioned binder where you can keep all your insurance policies, including your auto, home, health and life insurance. This will make it easier for you to find the information you need when you need it.
2) Set reminders for policy renewals. Most insurance policies need to be renewed on a regular basis. Set reminders for yourself to renew your policy before it expires.
3) Review your coverages regularly. Your insurance needs may change over time. Review your policies regularly and make sure that you have adequate coverage to protect your assets and your family. If necessary, work with your insurance agent to make changes to your policies.
4) Keep track of claims. If you need to file a claim, keep track of the process and all the paperwork. Document, document, document. This will help you to follow up if needed.
5) Use online tools. Many insurance companies now offer online tools that allow you to access your policy information and make changes or file claims online. Utilize these tools to stay informed and stay organized.
6) Keep records of payments and receipts. Keep records of all payments and receipts for your insurance policies. This will help you to keep track of your payments and ensure you’re staying up to date. Or even easier, consider setting the billing on automatic payments.
7) Understand your insurance policy. Take the time to read and understand your insurance policies, including the terms, exclusions and limits.
8) Keep your contact information up to date. Make sure that your insurance company has your current contact information, including your address, phone number and email.
9) Keep your insurance agent informed of any changes in your life that may affect your insurance needs, such as a new car, driver, or updates to your home.
