No medical exam life insurance
No medical exam life insurance lets you apply with health questions instead of a nurse visit, blood draw or lab work. Approval can be much faster than traditional underwriting.
Types of no exam coverage
Simplified issue asks a short list of health questions. Accelerated underwriting uses data such as prescription history to skip the exam for qualifying applicants. Guaranteed issue asks no health questions but offers smaller amounts and usually pays only a partial benefit for an initial period, often two years.
Is no exam coverage right for you?
It can fit people who want speed, dislike needles, or have health issues that make full underwriting difficult. If you are in good health, a fully underwritten policy may cost less, so compare both.
