Cevap
The legally binding promise to pay for covered medical claims in the future
For a legal contract to be valid, there must be a mutual exchange of value, known as consideration. In an insurance transaction, the applicant's consideration is the payment of the initial premium and the representations made on the application. The insurance company's consideration is its legally binding promise to pay for covered losses in the future if a claim occurs.
