  > Preferred Provider Organization (PPO)
PPOs are comparable to indemnity plans, although they require subscribers to choose their health-care providers and health-care facilities from a preferred-provider list. Because the preferred providers have agreed to the plan's requirements, including discounted fees, subscribers have a financial incentive to stay within the network.

  > Dependent Property
This refers to a kind of business-interruption endorsement on a commercial policy that protects you from financial losses caused by problems somewhere other than your business. “Dependent property” is defined as property not owned, operated or controlled by you but on which you are dependent for normal business operations.
.......................................................
  > Exclusive Provider Organization (EPO)
EPOs allow subscribers to visit any physician within the contracted network without prior approval or referrals. Services received outside the network may not be covered.

Maryland Health Insurance

What is a PPO plan?

A PPO (Preferred Provider Organization) plan is a health plan where favored service providers, such as doctors and hospitals, have a contract with an insurance company or a health plan to offer service for their policyholders. Generally, the preferred service provider agreed to accept an insurance company's usual payment. If you have a PPO contract, and do not use the preferred service providers, you will likely pay more for services rendered by the physician or hospital.

Maryland Auto Insurance

Can I drive legally without insurance?

No, almost every state requires that you have auto insurance. All states also have financial responsibility laws meaning that if you do not have insurance, you need to have sufficient assets to pay claims if involved in an accident. If you don’t have enough assets, you are required to purchase the state minimum amount of insurance. Car insurance is a necessity.

Maryland Business Insurance

What does a Business Insurance Policy usually cover?

For Instance, the Business Owners Policy includes property insurance for buildings, business interruption insurance which covers loss of assets due to events that disrupts business, and liability protection covering damages the company may inflict upon others.

Maryland Renters Insurance

Are there any coverage limits for Renter's Insurance?

Yes, there are often coverage limits for personal items such as computers, other electronic equipment, jewelry, and even clothing. Sometimes, you may be able to attain additional coverage for certain items, but the amount of coverage varies according to the insurer.

Maryland Homeowners Insurance

Am I required to get Homeowners Insurance for my home?

No, you are not required by law to get Homeowners Insurance to cover your home. However, depending upon where you live, lenders may require that you have homeowners insurance before offering you a loan. For instance, in areas prone to flooding, hurricanes, earthquakes, and other natural disasters, insurance is required by banks and lenders before making a loan. You never know when disaster may strike and leave your home damaged or even destroyed. For this reason, it is not a good idea to be without homeowners insurance.

Did You Know?    
 
 
About property and liability exposures
If you operate a home-based business – either part-time or full-time – you might be uninsured for coverage and not realize it. Many home-based business owners mistakenly believe that their homeowner policy will provide coverage for their business operations. It’s true that your homeowner’s policy may provide a limited amount of coverage for business-related personal property in the home. But it may not provide full coverage for the added property and liability exposures that the home business represents.
