What is non indemnity insurance?

Non-indemnity insurance is a type of insurance policy that does not provide compensation for loss or damage in the traditional sense. Instead, it offers benefits that are predefined, such as life insurance payouts or fixed amounts for specific events, regardless of the actual loss incurred. This contrasts with indemnity insurance, which aims to restore the insured to their original financial position after a loss. Non-indemnity insurance often serves to provide certainty in financial planning, especially for events like death or critical illness.
