Conversion Choice℠ rider with ExtendCare℠ provides customers with more policy flexibility

Protective Life Corporation, a subsidiary of Dai-ichi Life Holdings, Inc. (TSE:8750) today announced the launch of a new rider for its flagship Protective^® Classic Choice term policy, which is issued by its principal subsidiary Protective Life Insurance Company (“Protective”). The new rider, Conversion Choice℠ rider with ExtendCare℠ provides customers with enhanced options for long-term protection and future chronic illness coverage.

Of people turning age 65, 70% will develop a long-term care need in their lifetimes.¹ With the physical, emotional and financial toll of chronic illness, dependable coverage can help lessen the burden.

“As protectors, our mission is to help people secure what matters most, especially as their needs change,” said Dave Sheridan, Vice President, Head of Independent Life Distribution for Protective. “The Conversion Choice rider with ExtendCare can help clients plan for long-term coverage needs and protect against the unexpected, all while ensuring their immediate protection needs are covered with Protective Classic Choice term.”

The new Conversion Choice rider with ExtendCare can be added to newly purchased Protective Classic Choice term products. The rider allows customers to easily convert their in-force policy to a Protective permanent solution and access ExtendCare to receive chronic illness protection, without any additional underwriting or medical exams.

Another benefit of the Conversion Choice rider with ExtendCare is longer conversion periods for more of Protective’s permanent products.
