In this episode you will learn:
- That a Certificate of Insurance (COI) is only evidence of a policy's existence at a specific point in time.
- Why a COI does not grant any policy rights or coverage to the certificate holder.
- The critical difference between a certificate holder and a true 'additional insured' status, which requires a policy endorsement.
- That cancellation notices on a COI are not binding on the insurer unless they reflect the actual terms of the policy.
- That a COI cannot amend, alter, or extend the terms and conditions of the insurance policy itself.
