coveredfor

Coveredfor is a term used primarily in insurance and in software systems that manage policy data to denote the set of events or perils for which a policy provides coverage. It is commonly expressed as the two-word phrase “covered for” in ordinary language but is also encountered in technical contexts as “coveredFor” (camelCase) or “coveredfor” as a data field or token in digital formats.

Origin and usage: The core idea—being covered for something—dates to standard insurance language. The fused form “coveredfor” is a neologism that appears in internal documentation, policy-management platforms, and software development contexts to support machine readability and compact data schemas. It is not a formal term in most consumer-facing policies.

Scope: “Coveredfor” generally refers to the scope of coverage under a policy, including perils, incidents, or items listed as insured. It can be nested within endorsements, riders, or policy exclusions to contrast with non-covered risks.

In practice: In natural language, one often writes “This policy covers you for fire and theft.” In technical formats, a policy object might include “coveredFor”: [“fire”, “theft”, “water damage”].
