A provision in an insurance policy allowing for amendments to its terms and/or coverage. Usually riders are placed on health insurance companies to exclude specific pre-existing conditions. The insurance rider is an added feature to a policy. An example is a money back rider on a term policy which would return the premiums at the end of the policy term. You generally pay extra for a rider as it is an additional benefit.

Can a health rider on a life insurance policy have different maturity dates?

Although "health rider" is not really a term of art in the US life insurance market, in other places it refers to something like a critical illness policy that is annexed to a life insurance policy. If the insured becomes ill or injured from a cause covered by the rider, the rider may allow the insured access to the life insurance proceeds to assist in the payment of medical expenses as they accrue. A rider of any sort usually is for the same duration as the policy. Therefore, as long as premiums are paid for the policy (and for the rider if it requires an additional premium), and the coverages began at the same time, they should be coterminous. Keep in mind, though, that the terms and conditions of the insurance contract always prevail.
