Why it matters
This protects against losing coverage due to a health change, but doesn't protect against rate increases -- it's a narrower guarantee than "non-cancelable."

Guaranteed Renewable
Guaranteed renewable means an insurer must renew your policy as long as premiums are paid on time, though it can still raise premiums for an entire class of policyholders.
Example
Many Medigap and disability insurance policies are guaranteed renewable, meaning your specific policy can't be canceled for health reasons alone.
Common mistake
A common mistake is confusing guaranteed renewable with a promise that premiums will never increase -- rate increases can still apply to your entire rating class.
