Guaranteed issue insurance

Guaranteed issue coverage does not require medical questions or an examination for eligible applicants. It can include a limited natural-cause benefit during the first two policy years.

Simplified issue insurance

Simplified issue insurance may avoid a medical exam but commonly asks health questions and can decline applicants based on underwriting. Benefits and pricing depend on the specific policy.

Compare eligibility, premiums, face amount, benefit timing and policy terms. A licensed agent can explain whether alternatives are available to you.
