Yep! One way that insurance compmanies can achieve this is by providing members of their insured population access to services that reduce their individualized risk.

Pre-COVID, many health insurance companies (my industry) were gearing up to offer free Doctor on Call (a service that, if well-implemented from a tech PoV, has near-zero margin costs), because access to such a program reduces the risk of expensive claims later down the line.

I'm sure there are equivalents in the kind of insurance that Lemonade provides. For example, they might offer free or heavily subsidized home security installation in certain zip codes with a history of burglaries.
