Re-entry in regards to term life insurance is the process of re-qualifying for favorable underwriting rates after a specified period of time. For example, if one purchases a 10-year life insurance policy then the rates are level for 10 years. After the 10-year period, the rates will go up dramatically. However, some policies offer the option to go through additional underwriting and re-qualify for a good rating. The rates of the policy will still go up since the insured is now 10 years older than when the policy was originally issued. But the rates will be significantly less than if re-entry does not happen.

Of course, if a policy does not technically allow for re-entry, an insured can simply apply for a new policy. The underwriting of the new policy will be identical to the re-entry underwriting.
