Flat Deductible
Same as term Deductible: amount of loss that insured pays in a claim; includes the following types:
- Absolute dollar amount. Amount the insured must pay before the company will pay, up to the limits of the policy. The higher the absolute dollar amount, the lower the premium.
- Time period amount (Elimination period/Waiting period). Length of time the insured must wait before any benefit payments are made by the insurance company.
