A rider is a separate policy that is attached to your main policy. I have never heard of it with a health issurance policy, but know it is often used with home owners policies. For example ... you have your home owners policy but have an original painting that exceeds your policy max for an individual item if stolen/damaged etc. You would purchase a rider to cover that specific painting that would cover theft/damage/earthquake etc. You pay a fee for the rider up and above your regular policy. <BR><BR> I just did a search and found that life insurance can have riders too ... here's a link with more information: <BR><BR> http://www.woodmen.com/tools/insfaqs.cfm
