Explain an insurance premium increase to a policyholder
An honest renewal explanation of why a premium went up and what the policyholder can do about it.
The prompt
Help me explain a premium increase to a policyholder at renewal.
Line of insurance: [e.g. "homeowners", "auto", "small business package", "commercial property"]
Old and new premium: [AMOUNTS]
Reasons for the increase: [LIST what actually applies - e.g. rate filing approved in the state, higher replacement cost or insured value, claims history, change in risk (new driver, renovation), loss of a discount, reinsurance or catastrophe costs, market conditions]
Options available: [higher deductible, coverage adjustments, discounts they might qualify for (bundling, security devices, telematics), payment plans, marketing to other carriers if I am a broker]
Relationship: [agent/broker to client, or insurer to policyholder]
Format: [email / letter / phone talking points]
Write:
1. An opening that states the new premium and effective date upfront - no burying it.
2. The reasons, in order of impact, in plain language. Explain industry-wide factors briefly without using them to hide account-specific ones.
3. Options to manage the cost, each with what they gain and what they give up (e.g. a higher deductible means more out of pocket on a claim). Flag any option that could leave them underinsured.
4. Clear next steps and the date by which they must act.
5. A short version for a phone call.
Do not invent reasons or discount amounts; mark unknowns [CONFIRM]. Do not advise reducing coverage below lender or legal requirements.
Highlighted [brackets] are blanks to replace with your own details.
