InsureLexicon Launches Comprehensive Insurance Dictionary to Combat America's Insurance Literacy Crisis
New online platform simplifies complex insurance terminology to help consumers avoid coverage gaps and claim denials
The timing is critical: a recent study shows that only 4% of Americans can correctly identify all four basic terms that determine how much they would pay out of pocket for health services. This creates widespread confusion, delayed care, worse health outcomes, and higher costs for both consumers and the healthcare system.

May 9, 2025 - Research shows that Americans score only 42% on insurance-related questions in national surveys, making insurance one of the least understood financial topics. Today, InsureLexicon.com launches as the web's comprehensive insurance dictionary, offering free, searchable definitions for 100's of insurance terms across five major insurance categories.

The timing is critical: a recent study shows that only 4% of Americans can correctly identify all four basic terms that determine how much they would pay out of pocket for health services. This creates widespread confusion, delayed care, worse health outcomes, and higher costs for both consumers and the healthcare system.

InsureLexicon.com addresses this growing problem with a user-friendly insurance terminology guide designed for everyday consumers. The platform translates confusing insurance jargon into clear, actionable information.

"People are making life-altering financial decisions based on language deliberately designed to confuse them — it's unacceptable," said Chris Seymour, InsureLexicon's founder. "Our insurance dictionary was built to empower consumers with the knowledge they need to protect themselves and their families."

The insurance glossary platform features:

  • Plain-English Definitions – Crystal-clear explanations of terms like "subrogation," "loss adjustment expense," and "declaration page" without the legal jargon

  • Practical Examples – Real-world scenarios showing how each insurance term affects coverage decisions

  • Category Navigation – Easy browsing by insurance type: health, auto, home, life, or business insurance terminology

  • Term Comparison Tools – Side-by-side explanations of commonly confused terms like "actual cash value vs. replacement cost" and "copay vs. coinsurance"

  • Insurance Quote Comparison – Visitors can compare quotes from top insurers by inquiring on the site


The platform comes at a crucial time as AI-generated policies and algorithm-based pricing become industry standards. Research published in ScienceDirect confirms that "confusion and uncertainty lead people to delay needed care, resulting in worse health outcomes and more costly care."

"Studies consistently show that low levels of health insurance literacy are associated with suboptimal use of health insurance coverage, even among those who have insurance," added Seymour. "InsureLexicon provides the insurance terminology translator consumers need to navigate these complex financial products."
