Morphology
The meaning is directly and compositionally derived from 'insurance' (coverage against loss) + 'policy' (a formal document or plan), so a learner who knows both words can infer it denotes the document describing insurance terms. This is a common noun–noun compounding pattern found across languages and standard in English, making it readily understandable at B1.
Etymology
Insurance policy combines insurance, meaning a 'promise' to pay if something goes wrong, and policy, an old word for a written paper or set of rules. Long ago people needed a paper to show the promise, so the 'policy' became the document that proves the insurance, and that's why today insurance policy means the written contract that gives you coverage.
