What is the effect of a Waiver of Premium Rider in health insurance?

  1. Increases premiums for disabled individuals

  2. Allows policyholders to skip premium payments

  3. Requires payment of premiums even during disability

  4. Offers additional coverage without extra cost

The correct answer is: Allows policyholders to skip premium payments

The choice highlighting that a Waiver of Premium Rider allows policyholders to skip premium payments is accurate. This rider is designed specifically to provide financial relief in the event that the policyholder becomes disabled and unable to work. Under this provision, the insurance company waives the requirement for premium payments for as long as the policyholder is deemed disabled. This ensures that the policy remains active and that the policyholder is still covered during a difficult time without the added burden of premium payments. This feature is particularly beneficial as it helps policyholders maintain their insurance coverage while facing financial challenges due to their inability to earn an income.
