Convertible life insurance, also known as convertible term life insurance, operates through a conversion rider attached to a term life policy. This allows you to convert term life insurance to permanent coverage without a new medical exam.
The process ensures continuity of coverage, allowing the policy to adapt as your needs or health status change. When you convert a term policy to permanent coverage, you won't face interruptions or denials based on health issues that developed since your original policy was issued.
This feature offers a safeguard against becoming uninsurable due to health changes. Converting term to permanent life insurance involves a predetermined conversion period during which you must decide to make the switch.
