About LOMA's Glossary of Insurance and Financial Services Terms

LOMA’s Glossary helps to explain the jargon of life insurance, health insurance, and employee benefits. This glossary is intended for the novice and the veteran alike. If you have a question about an insurance term, LOMA’s Glossary can probably answer it.

With this edition, besides updating many of the terms in the earlier editions, we have expanded LOMA’s Glossary by more than 200 terms. The glossary now defines terms from practically all the major areas of business in which life and health insurers operate. The new terms were drawn primarily from the areas of insurance accounting, finance, and managed health care. LOMA’s Glossary now lists and defines more than 1,600 terms that are used in the life and health insurance industry.

We’re always looking for new terms and better definitions that will make LOMA’s Glossary a better and more complete reference for the industry. If you come across a term that is not defined in the glossary, or if you find a definition in the glossary that you think can be improved, please let us know. Send your comments to
