How can group coverage be converted to an individual policy?

Group coverage can be converted to an individual policy using a conversion privilege. This option is specifically designed to allow policyholders to transition their existing group insurance benefits into an individual policy without having to undergo additional underwriting or medical examinations. This can be especially valuable when an individual leaves a group plan due to changes in employment or if the group coverage is no longer available.

The conversion privilege is typically defined in the group policy and offers a streamlined process for the individual to maintain some level of coverage, ensuring continuity of protection. This privilege ensures that the individual can obtain a policy that may have similar benefits to what they had as part of the group plan, thus providing peace of mind.

The other options, while potentially related to securing coverage, do not specifically address the defined process of converting group insurance to an individual policy as effectively as utilizing the conversion privilege does.
