Legal Purpose

In insurance, a legal purpose refers to the requirement that an insurance policy must be written for a legitimate and lawful purpose, and cannot violate public policy or be against the law. This means that an insurance policy cannot be written to cover illegal activities or anything that is contrary to the public good. 

Paramedical Exam

A paramedical exam is a medical examination conducted by a licensed medical professional to gather health-related information about an individual applying for life or health insurance coverage. The exam is usually conducted at the applicant's home or workplace by a paramedic or nurse and may include collecting blood and urine samples, measuring vital signs, taking an electrocardiogram (EKG), and obtaining a medical history.

Policy Conditions

In insurance, policy conditions refer to the terms and requirements that both the insurer and policyholder must adhere to in order to ensure coverage under the insurance policy. These conditions are typically outlined in the insurance policy document, and failure to meet any of the conditions may result in the policyholder forfeiting their coverage or the insurer denying a claim.

Policy Effective Date

The policy effective date in insurance is the date on which the policy coverage starts. It is the date from which the policyholder is covered by the insurance policy and can make a claim in case of a covered event.

Policy Term

In insurance, the policy term refers to the length of time during which the policy is in effect and provides coverage. The policy term is typically specified in the insurance contract and can vary depending on the type of policy and the insurer.

Policyholder

In insurance, a policyholder is a person or entity who owns an insurance policy and is entitled to its benefits. The policyholder is typically the person who pays the premiums and is listed as the policyholder on the insurance policy.

Policyowner

In insurance, a policy owner is the person or entity that owns a policy and is responsible for paying the premiums and making decisions related to the policy. The policy owner has the right to designate the beneficiaries of the policy and can make changes to the policy as needed.
