Editorial methodology desk
An insurance information resource, not an insurer
CoverSelect explains coverage concepts so readers can review real policies with better questions.
Our Purpose
We help readers understand and evaluate insurance coverage. We are not an insurance carrier, agency, government body, regulator or marketplace, and we do not sell or bind coverage.
Editorial Transparency, Methodology and Fact-Checking
Editorial transparency
Guides are written and updated by the editorial team and labeled as general information.
Review methodology
Each piece is reviewed for terminology, calculations, policy concepts, numerical examples and outdated information.
Fact-checking
Factual claims are checked against primary documents where possible and corrected when found wrong.
Source selection
Official policy documentation, government resources, public regulatory information and reputable industry references.
Corrections and Calculator Limitations
Corrections
Report an error through the Contact page using Source correction. We review it and update the page if warranted.
Calculator limitations
Calculators use simplified assumptions and cannot reproduce the full terms of an actual policy.
How to Use CoverSelect
- Read a guide to learn the terms.
- Use a tool to see how numbers interact.
- Open your actual policy documents and compare.
- Consult a qualified professional for your situation.
