What is simplified issue term life insurance?

With several term lengths and a wide range of coverage amounts to choose from, your life insurance policy is on your terms. Every term policy we offer includes level premiums, meaning your monthly payment will never increase during your term. (Product type, benefit amounts, and eligibility can vary by carrier.)

The instant advantage & cost

Your application will undergo a simplified underwriting process, which means you’ll get an instant decision. This life insurance can cost more than other types of coverage that require traditional underwriting because there aren’t any medical exams or lab tests. Your price is determined based on the answers you provide to some personal and health questions. In many cases, this is the best option for people who may have trouble getting coverage elsewhere.

The issuance of the policy may depend upon the answers to the health questions set forth in the application.
