PURE Programs also offers a wind-only homeowners policy providing coverage up to the full insured limit of a home or condo, a builders risk policy for homes under construction and coverage Companies for excess flood by endorsement.
• Access to PURE’s claims and risk management services: PURE Programs’ policyholders have access to concierge-level services afforded to PURE’s members, including but not limited to PURE360 Risk Management Consultation – designed to help determine the right amount of coverage and to educate on ways to prevent losses from happening in the first place; PURE Member Advocate – a team of professionals who deliver concierge-level service before, during and after a claim; and claims handling services that connect a policyholder with a licensed in-house adjuster, so the settlement process begins immediately.
