Some individuals may prefer to avoid a medical exam because of a distaste for needles, doctors or tests. If the idea of undergoing a physical examination makes you uncomfortable, guaranteed issue whole life insurance provides a way to apply for coverage without having to take an exam.
Certain individuals may also prefer to avoid a medical exam because they fear being charged higher life insurance premiums because of their health (or even being denied coverage altogether). Many life insurance rates are dictated in part by health, and many applicants can end up faced with more expensive policies based on medical exam results during the insurance underwriting process. Others may assume they won’t be able to obtain affordable coverage because of their health and don’t even bother going through with the exam.
With guaranteed issue whole life insurance, you cannot be turned down for health reasons and no medical exam or labs will be required.
Coverage is subject to receipt of payment and verification of identity as required by law and is effective upon receipt of policy.
Some forms of life insurance include waiting periods, which can include the following:
Dying without life insurance can leave your loved ones facing a financial burden, even if they are no longer financially dependent on you. Funerals can cost several thousand dollars. End-of-life medical care can become the responsibility of a spouse or adult child. Debts such as mortgages and credit cards can be inherited by family members.
Because basic life insurance may get more expensive as you age and can be dependent on your health, those who did not purchase a policy when they were young might find it difficult to obtain affordable coverage.
Guaranteed issue whole life insurance from AGL helps you lock in the coverage you need to protect the finances of your loved ones in the event of your death. If you’re between 50 and 85 years old, you are eligible for guaranteed issue whole life protection and can receive permanent coverage up to $25,000 right from the start.
