Topic: Evaluation Assurance Level


In the News (Wed 19 Jun 13)

  
  Insurance - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Redlining is the practice of some insurance companies to deny the issuance of coverage in specific geographic areas, with the purported reason of an increased likelihood of risk; the validity of the assessment is often attributed to discrimination.
Evaluation of risk, when an insurer determines a premium or premium rate structure, considers quantifiable factors, including location, credit scores, gender, occupation, marital status, and education level.
However, the use of these essential factors, whether inappropriately or not, are often considered to be unfair or discriminatory by some consumers and their advocates, sometimes leading to political disputes about insurers' determination of premiums and possible government intervention to limit the factors used.
