Massachusetts residents now have a new home insurance option with Orion180 entering the market and introducing their home insurance product.
In a move aimed at addressing the rising insurance premiums and non-renewals in Massachusetts, Orion180 has introduced FLEX Home Insurance in nine eastern counties of the state. This innovative product offers homeowners the ability to tailor core protections, deductibles, and copay levels according to their individual risk tolerance and financial goals.
Key Features of FLEX Home Insurance
FLEX Home Insurance stands out with its customizable coverage, flexible deductibles and copays, claims-free rewards, and additional discounts. Policyholders can adjust coverages and perils to fit their specific needs, making it an attractive option for homeowners in Massachusetts.
- Customizable Coverage: Policyholders can adjust coverages and perils to fit their specific needs.
- No Coastal Restrictions: Unlike many competitors, FLEX covers coastal properties without distance-based pricing exclusions or geographic limits, addressing a critical gap given Massachusetts’ coastal insurance challenges.
- Flexible Deductibles and Copays: Homeowners choose from a variety of deductible and copayment options, optimizing both short-term affordability and long-term value.
- Claims-Free Rewards: Eligible customers may receive a bonus of up to 100% of their first-year premium, depending on their history without claims.
- Additional Discounts: Savings are available for seniors, military personnel, first responders, and those maintaining tree-free yards.
Addressing Market Conditions in Massachusetts
The launch of FLEX Home Insurance responds to evolving market conditions in Massachusetts, where homeowners insurance premiums rose about 15% from 2022 to 2023, and the state ranks fifth nationally for policy non-renewals. Coastal homeowners have been particularly affected by restrictive coverage and rising costs. Orion180 positions FLEX as a solution that increases accessibility and choice, maintaining transparent pricing and supporting agents with a 0% state abandonment rate.
Comparison with Existing Offerings
Many insurers in Massachusetts impose distance-based coastal restrictions, limiting coverage or charging higher premiums for shore-proximate properties. FLEX uniquely removes these geographic exclusions, offering broader coastal zone coverage. Traditional policies often have limited options for deductible and coverage customization. FLEX’s flexible design empowers homeowners to balance risk and cost more directly. Claims-free bonuses and targeted discounts may provide greater affordability and reward long-term policyholders, which is less common in standard insurance products. Orion180 markets FLEX primarily through independent agents, emphasizing personalized guidance, compared to some bigger carriers relying heavily on direct models.
In Summary
Orion180’s FLEX Home Insurance in Massachusetts offers innovative, flexible, and coastal-friendly protection designed to address market gaps in affordability and availability, particularly for underserved homeowners in challenging risk areas.
