Deductible
In general, loan interest on life insurance policies is not tax deductible. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) considers life insurance loans as personal loans, which are not eligible for tax deductions. However, there may be certain exceptions or specific circumstances where the interest on a life insurance policy loan could be deductible, such as if the loan was used for business purposes. It is recommended to consult with a tax professional for personalized advice on this matter.
Having the same insurance company twice, as a primary and secondary, means you are paying twice for the same insurance policy. They probably will not cover the same thing twice, or they may treat it as two different policies and may treat it that way. If they were two different policies, The primary would deal with any deductible and copay before fulfilling its contractual obligation and so would the secondary policy depending on the wording of the contract. Unless there is no deductible and copay, or if one policy covers the deductible/copy of the other, there will still be a balance you owe. There is also the situation where your medical provider will not accept or fully participate in your insurance policy, in which case you may owe the difference between the doctors bling amount and what was paid by the insurance(s).

The amount of a policy deductible on a homeowners insurance policy is chosen by the policyholder. Your policy deductible is the amount you are responsible for paying before the insurance company will payout for a claim. If you experience a loss to your dwelling or your personal property, your homeowners insurance policy deductible applies. The deductible does not apply to other coverages on the policy. If you experience a loss under your deductible, you will not be eligible for a payout. If your loss exceeds your deductible, your deductible will be deducted from your claims payout check.

Your standard home policy usually has a set deductible such as $500, $1,000 or $2,500. These are the most common I have seen. The earthquake deductible is usually a percentage of the total coverage such as 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% or 25%. These are the options I usually see. The deductible is a percentage of the total dwelling coverage. If you have a dwelling coverage limit on the earthquake policy of $200,000 and a 10% deductible, your deductible would be $20,000. There is a company called GeoVera that writes a separate policy for earthquake and offers up two different policies. A comprehensive and standard policy. With the comprehensive policy, they wrap all the coverages up into one lump sum and then apply the deductible to that amount. With the standard policy, there is a set amount for the dwelling coverage and then minimal coverage for the other categories such as contents coverage and loss of use. You may want to call the agent that writes your current home insurance policy to see what option they have available.
