Insurance coverage that you're already paying for might include more perks than you realize, according to a new multimedia feature available at A.M. Best Co.'s Consumer Insurance Center.


This latest feature in the ongoing consumer-oriented series highlights 21 unexpected insurance claims and services that you might qualify for through your existing insurance policies, including homeowners, car, life, health

and disability. For instance, your homeowners insurance could reimburse you for a forged check, theft of a camera on vacation or damage to a family tombstone. Your health insurance may cover perks including help to quit smoking and discounted gym memberships and massages.


Upcoming features will discuss health insurance, as well as retirement products, and tips on homeowners and car insurance.


Your information resource about buying insurance as well as the financial stability of the insurance companies that sell those products is available at www.ambest.com/consumer.
