A conversion option lets you turn your policy into a new one for a longer term without giving new evidence of your health. It costs more than standard cover, and it protects you if your health changes and you need cover for longer.
Indexation raises your cover each year to keep pace with inflation, with the premium rising to match. At Irish Life, for example, cover rises by 3% a year and the premium by 4.5%. Guaranteed insurability lets you increase cover after events such as marriage, a new child or a new mortgage, without new medical evidence.
