As we move into July and the Independence Day holiday nears, here are a handful of insurance-related stories we will be reading, bookmarking and sharing in the coming days:  
 -- According to data analyzed by a healthcare technology provider, about $262 billion in [insurance claims to hospitals](http://www.modernhealthcare.com/article/20170627/NEWS/170629905) are denied by carriers.

-- *Bloomberg* has a deep dive into the tax advantages of [insurance dedicated funds (IDFs](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-06-28/hot-tax-avoidance-plan-joins-millionaires-hedge-funds-insurers)).

-- Have any new drivers to add to your auto policy? *The New York Times* takes a look at this [common issue for policyholders](https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/23/your-money/auto-insurance/tips-for-adding-a-teenage-driver-to-your-auto-insurance.html). (The good folks at [Plexus Private Client Solutions](http://www.plexusgroupe.com/s/property-casualty/private-client-solutions/img) can help, too.)

-- Here's an interesting look at [yacht insurance](http://www.superyachtnews.com/business/the-insurance-implications-of-superyacht-refits).

-- We close with a tale of an [alleged case of insurance fraud](http://www.centredaily.com/news/local/crime/article158894604.html) involving a car striking a deer.
