Policy Renewability

In the context of insurance, Policy Renewability refers to the terms and conditions that define whether and how an insurance policy can be renewed or modified by the insurer over time. These types determine the rights and obligations of both the insurer and the policyholder regarding policy continuation, premium changes, and coverage alterations.

Key types of Policy Renewability include:

• Guaranteed Renewable: The insurer cannot cancel the policy or change its terms, but premiums can be adjusted for a class of policyholders.
• Non-Cancellable: The insurer cannot cancel the policy, change the terms, or increase premiums as long as premiums are paid on time.
• Conditionally Renewable: The policy can be renewed under specific conditions, such as remaining employed.
• Optionally Renewable: Renewal is at the insurer's discretion, usually at policy anniversaries.

Understanding Policy Renewability Types is essential for evaluating long-term coverage stability and cost predictability.
