Coinsurance Agreement: Definition, Terms, Example
Jump to Section
What is a Coinsurance Agreement?
A coinsurance agreement is a contract between a company owner and insurance company where they agree to share the cost of a claim. In other words, this agreement establishes how much an insurance company will pay, and how much the company's copay will be. Sometimes, companies choose to share their liability with employees for each covered event, which results in a shared cost between these two parties, as well. When this is the case, the coinsurance agreement also details how these charges will work.
Overall, the coinsurance agreement serves to ensure that both parties understand their financial obligation. It also provides recourse when one party fails to pay their part.
