<p>Bot: Creating new article from JSON</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>🔎 &#039;&#039;&#039;Policy review&#039;&#039;&#039; is a systematic evaluation of an existing [[Definition:Insurance policy | insurance policy]] to determine whether its coverages, limits, [[Definition:Deductible | deductibles]], [[Definition:Endorsement | endorsements]], and overall structure still align with the [[Definition:Policyholder | policyholder&#039;s]] current risk profile and needs. Conducted by [[Definition:Insurance agent | agents]], [[Definition:Insurance broker | brokers]], [[Definition:Risk manager | risk managers]], or the insureds themselves, policy reviews are a routine but critical practice that prevents gaps in coverage from going unnoticed — particularly as businesses evolve, assets change in value, or new [[Definition:Exposure | exposures]] emerge.<br /> <br /> ⚙️ A thorough review typically involves comparing the [[Definition:Policy schedule | policy schedule]] and [[Definition:Policy terms | terms]] against the insured&#039;s current operations, asset inventory, contractual obligations, and regulatory environment. In [[Definition:Commercial insurance | commercial lines]], this might mean verifying that a growing manufacturer&#039;s [[Definition:General liability insurance | general liability]] and [[Definition:Property insurance | property]] limits have kept pace with expanded facilities, or that a technology firm has added adequate [[Definition:Cyber insurance | cyber coverage]] following a systems overhaul. For [[Definition:Personal lines insurance | personal lines]], a review might surface the need for increased [[Definition:Umbrella insurance | umbrella liability]] limits or updated [[Definition:Homeowners insurance | homeowners]] valuations. Brokers often schedule reviews ahead of [[Definition:Renewal | renewal]] periods so that any recommended changes can be incorporated into the next policy term, and some [[Definition:Insurtech | insurtech]] platforms now automate periodic review triggers based on data signals like property transactions or revenue growth.<br /> <br /> 💡 Skipping regular policy reviews is one of the most common ways policyholders end up underinsured — a gap that only becomes apparent in the worst possible moment, when a [[Definition:Claim | claim]] is filed. Beyond protecting the insured, reviews serve the interests of [[Definition:Insurance carrier | carriers]] and intermediaries as well: they improve retention by demonstrating ongoing value, they surface [[Definition:Cross-selling | cross-selling]] and [[Definition:Upselling | upselling]] opportunities, and they reduce [[Definition:Errors and omissions insurance | E&amp;O exposure]] for the advising agent or broker. In regulated sectors like [[Definition:Workers&#039; compensation insurance | workers&#039; compensation]] or [[Definition:Professional liability insurance | professional liability]], periodic reviews may also be necessary to maintain compliance with evolving statutory requirements.<br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;Related concepts:&#039;&#039;&#039;<br /> {{Div col|colwidth=20em}}<br /> * [[Definition:Policy schedule]]<br /> * [[Definition:Renewal]]<br /> * [[Definition:Coverage gap]]<br /> * [[Definition:Risk assessment]]<br /> * [[Definition:Insurance broker]]<br /> * [[Definition:Endorsement]]<br /> {{Div col end}}</div>
