A co-pay provision or coinsurance clause in a homeowners insurance policy refers to the shared responsibility between the insurer and the policyholder for certain types of losses. In a coinsurance arrangement, the homeowner must insure their property for a specified percentage of its value, typically 80% or 90%. If the property is underinsured, any claim payout may be reduced based on the percentage of coverage in relation to the required amount. This encourages homeowners to maintain adequate coverage to fully protect their property.

How coinsurance work?
Under certain health insurance plans, 'coinsurance' is the percentage of a covered medical expense you may be required to pay after you've paid your copayment and/or deductible. Not all health insurance plans require coinsurance. It's a confusing concept, so here's an example: Joe gets sick and goes to the doctor. He may pay a copayment for his office visit, but if the doctor orders special tests or x-rays, Joe may also be required to pay coinsurance for those tests. Say, for example, that Joe is given an x-ray and the total charge for the x-ray is $100. Even if Joe has already fulfilled his deductible for the year, he may still have to pay coinsurance toward that charge. If his health insurance policy requires 20% coinsurance, Joe will pay $20 toward the total cost of the x-ray, while his health insurance company will pay the remaining $80.
