Episode #75 - Certificates of Insurance: The Most Misunderstood Document in Insurance

Send us a text

Certificates of Insurance (COIs) look simple—but behind that one page is a world of fine print, pitfalls, and potential fraud.

In this episode, Chantal and Sandy talk with Scott Margraves, a 33-year insurance veteran and founder of COI’s R Us, about what COIs actually do (and don’t) prove. You’ll hear:

• Why 9 out of 10 COIs are issued incorrectly
• How small clerical errors can lead to big problems
• The difference between a document that verifies coverage and an actual contract
• Real-world examples of COI confusion, misrepresentation, and fraud

We also say goodbye to Sandy as co-host and welcome Heather Blevins as our next guest host—plus a preview of our upcoming episode on good faith claims handling.
