Morphology
The phrase is a straightforward compositional noun–noun combination: 'insurance' (protection against loss) combined with 'coverage' (the protection/limits provided) yields the meaning of the protection provided by a policy. This pattern is morphologically and semantically transparent and common across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both words should be able to infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Insurance coverage starts from a simple picture: insurance is a promise to pay if something bad happens, and coverage is what an umbrella covers. Imagine an umbrella over your car or health — everything under it is 'protected'. So insurance coverage means which things are protected and how much the policy will pay.
