DIC Insurance

At Aegis General, we provide the only true stand-alone DIC insurance program in the market.  This means you don’t have to meet the typical underwriting criteria of a full homeowners program.  Our program was designed from the ground-up to support DIC (Difference in Conditions) policies.  As a companion to a FAIR Plan or equivalent policy, we support all occupancies and dwelling values of up to $3,000,000.  The coverage in an Aegis DIC policy complements the fire and other perils provided by a California FAIR Plan or equivalent policy.  And, just like all of our programs, the Aegis DIC program is available via our real-time online quoting and policy issuance platform.

In the admitted marketplace, the California FAIR Plan provides insurance coverage for specific perils, including fire, when coverage is not otherwise available in the admitted marketplace. The FAIR Plan utilizes a Named Peril DP-1 policy form that provides coverage on an actual cash value (ACV) basis, with several options to enhance coverage to replacement cost, as well as to add more named perils. In addition to the coverage gaps that exist between a DP1 and a typical HO3 policy, the FAIR Plan also does not provide any Section II (personal liability) coverage options.

The Aegis DIC policy helps fill the coverage gaps that exist between a FAIR Plan or similar policy and a typical DP3, HO3, HO4 or HO6 policy (yes, we support DIC coverage for renters and condo owners as well!).  Whatsmore, the Aegis DIC program provides all the convenience you expect from a standard homeowners program:

• Burglar alarm and other discounts;
• Customer loyalty credits at qualifying renewals;
• Equipment breakdown coverage; and
• Even a coverage unique to Aegis that reimburses your client for a mandatory wildfire evacuation if the FAIR Plan or equivalent policy provides no Loss of Use coverage.
