Connecticut Life Producer Practice exam

What is a free-look period?

1. A time frame for the insurer to analyze the application

2. A period for policyholders to review their policy after delivery

3. A duration where premium payments can be waived

4. A time to decide if medical exams are necessary

The correct answer is: A period for policyholders to review their policy after delivery

A free-look period refers to the specific time frame provided to policyholders after they receive their life insurance policy during which they have the right to review the terms and conditions of the policy. This period typically lasts for a certain number of days, often ranging from 10 to 30 days, depending on state regulations. During the free-look period, if a policyholder finds that the policy does not meet their needs or they simply change their mind about their purchase, they can return the policy to the insurer for a full refund of the premiums paid. This provision is designed to give consumers peace of mind and an opportunity to make an informed decision about their insurance purchase. The other options do not accurately capture the essence of a free-look period, as they relate to different aspects of the insurance application or policy process.
