6 Coverage Gaps That Could Leave You Paying Out of Pocket

6 Coverage Gaps That Could Leave You Paying Out of Pocket
Insurance coverage gaps in health, home, auto, renters, life, and credit policies can leave households with unexpected out-of-pocket costs if policy limits or exclusions apply. Shutterstock

Many households assume policies cover more than they actually do, and that assumption often leads to expensive surprises. Gaps hide in plain sight inside policy fine print, limits, exclusions, and overlooked add-ons.

One missing detail can shift thousands of dollars back onto personal budgets at the worst possible moment. The smartest move involves spotting these gaps early and tightening coverage before trouble strikes.
