What is Deductible Buy-Back?
It’s supplemental follow-form buy-back coverage for commercial property owners with high wind, hail, or named storm deductible risk.
How Does It Work?
Imagine the primary wind/hail deductible is $1M, for example
Commercial client chooses to retain $100K out-of-pocket (deductible)
A covered storm loss occurs
The primary policy adjusts the loss
Deductible Buy-Back policy reimburses $900K of deductible
Client only pays $100K out-of-pocket

Customer Story
Chester Inc. owns a multi-use 12-story building in downtown Chicago, the “Windy City.”
A storm broke windows and tore holes in the roof, causing $1M in damages and triggering the $500K deductible on the primary policy.
Luckily, Chester Inc. had purchased a Deductible Buy-Back policy to bring their
out-of-pocket exposure down to $25K.
Chester Inc. paid the $25K to get the repairs started and their Deductible Buy-Back policy picked up the $475K difference.
