A health insurance policy where the insurer has the right to terminate the policy owner's premiums, but NOT cancel the policy is called a(n)

• A. Cancellable policy
• B. Noncancelable policy
• C. Guaranteed renewable policy
• D. Nonrenewable policy

Answer: (C)

The main idea being tested is how renewal and cancellation rights function in different types of health insurance policies. A guaranteed renewable policy guarantees renewal at each anniversary or renewal period, and the insurer cannot cancel the policy due to age, health, or other factors. Premiums can be adjusted at renewal, but the contract itself remains in force as long as premiums are paid. So, the scenario where the insurer has the right to terminate premium payments or adjust them, yet cannot cancel the policy, fits guaranteed renewable coverage because renewal is preserved and the policy continues, even though premiums may change.

By contrast, cancellable policies can be canceled by the insurer, noncancelable policies cannot be canceled and typically limit premium changes, and nonrenewable policies do not guarantee renewal after the term ends.
