What determines your premium

An insurer’s approved schedule typically reflects issue age, selected coverage amount and its rating classifications. Payment frequency and policy fees can also affect the amount you pay.

Monthly versus annual payment

Compare the total annual cost of twelve monthly payments with the single annual premium. Any savings shown by a calculator must be verified against the applicable carrier schedule.

Why guaranteed issue may cost more

Because guaranteed issue coverage does not use medical underwriting, its premiums and early policy benefits may differ from products requiring health questions. Compare benefits and costs, not just the monthly number.
