A lapse is the cancellation of coverage due to the non-payment of premiums. Lapse rates can be an important component of the pricing of long term care insurance plans. Consumer advocates and regulators fear that some insurance companies will sell policies to people who are probably not good candidates for purchasing the insurance and thus count on them to lapse their coverage.
