Renters ยท Surprise, AZ

Renters insuranceand the equipment you depend on.

Mobility scooters, hearing aids, CPAP machines and other medical equipment are expensive, essential and frequently sit under limits a tenant has never looked at.

Medical equipment is personal property. Replacing it quickly matters more than replacing it eventually.

Common Issues We Solve

What a Surprise renters policy has to get right

Three things about property you cannot do without.

Essential equipment is still just contents

A mobility scooter or a hearing aid is personal property like a television, covered subject to the same deductible and the same settlement basis. Nothing in a standard form recognizes that one of them is optional and the other is not, which is why the deductible choice matters more for households that rely on equipment.

Actual cash value hurts most here

Medical equipment depreciates on paper quickly while costing full price to replace. On an actual cash value policy the settlement can be a fraction of a replacement. Replacement cost is the single most important term for a household in this position.

Scheduling buys speed as well as value

Scheduled items carry an agreed value and often no deductible, which means a faster, cleaner settlement. When the item is something you need daily, the speed of the claim is as valuable as the amount.

FAQ

Renters questions from Surprise

Are my hearing aids covered by renters insurance?
Generally yes as personal property, subject to your deductible and your settlement basis. Because they depreciate quickly on paper, an actual cash value policy can settle for far less than replacement. Scheduling them is often the better answer.
What about a mobility scooter?
Usually covered as contents. Given the cost and that you depend on it daily, it is worth scheduling for an agreed value and a faster claim. We would rather set that up than have you discover the limit afterwards.
Does Medicare or my health plan cover replacing it?
That is a question for them and the answer is frequently limited or on a replacement schedule. It is one of the reasons the property side is worth getting right rather than relying on health cover to repeat itself.
