Term of Policy/Policy Renewability
Term of Policy/Policy Renewability
Policy Term: Term insurance provides coverage for the specified number of years, known as the policy term. In case of an unfortunate event during this period, your nominee will receive the sum assured in your policy.
The renewability clause explains the insurer's right to terminate (not renew) the coverage at the end of a policy year. The most common renewability clauses are listed below. They are listed in the order of how much control the insurer has to terminate coverage (from least to most):
-Non-cancelable
-Guaranteed renewable
-Conditionally renewable
-Renewable at the Option of the Insurer
-Cancelable
The term of policy/policy renewability is the time period for which a policy is in force. Disability insurance is usually guaranteed renewable annually until the insured reaches the required age 60 or 65 years of age depending on the jurisdiction. Some policies are conditionally renewable until age 70 years
A disability income insurance policy's renewability provision is important because it defines if, and under what conditions, the insurance company can change or cancel the policy or increase its premium.
There are four different renewability provisions that may be contained in disability income insurance policies:
-Noncancellable & Guaranteed Renewable
-Guaranteed Renewable
-Conditionally Renewable
-Optionally Renewable
In conclusion, the term of a policy is a fundamental aspect of your insurance coverage. Understanding the specific duration of your coverage and how it aligns with your needs is essential to make informed decisions and ensure you have adequate protection throughout your desired timeframe.
