The National Association of Insurance Commissioners, the trade group of regulators to the insurance industry, urges deploying service members to have their insurance affairs in order before they leave. Suggestions include:
* Find out how a company will handle deployment-related issues before buying a policy;
* Shop around for an insurer who will take the special needs of a military member into consideration, and;
* Be aware when premiums are due and policies are set to expire. More information is available online.
