Right of a certificate holder to convert group life or group health insurance to an individual policy without a physical examination to furnish evidence of insurability. Usually this must be done within 31 days of termination of employment. Under group life insurance, conversion is made at the employee's attained age rate, which can be prohibitively costly in later years. Many term life insurance policies can be converted to a whole life policy at the insured's attained age, with no physical examination required.
