A non-cancelable health policy, also called a guaranteed renewable policy, is a type of health insurance policy which guarantees that you will continue to be covered as long as you pay your monthly premiums on time. Most individual policies fall into the non-cancelable health insurance category. The other type of policy available to you is called a conditionally renewable policy, but it is not as common.

With a non-cancelable policy, you are guaranteed coverage as long as you continue to make your monthly premium payments on time.
