A previous denial does not end your options

Traditional life insurance may use medical underwriting. Guaranteed issue final expense insurance is different: eligible applicants do not answer health questions or take a medical exam.

Why applicants are declined elsewhere

Insurers may decline medically underwritten applications for many reasons. You do not need to disclose why another insurer declined you to use this website’s estimate or request a call.

What guaranteed issue does and does not promise

Medical history is not used to decide acceptance for eligible applicants under the advertised guaranteed issue process. Age, state, product availability and other contractual requirements still matter.

Check the early death benefit

A key tradeoff is the limited natural-cause death benefit in the first two policy years. Review it before requesting coverage and ask an agent about alternatives if appropriate.

Important: this website collects contact requests; it does not issue insurance. Submitting a form does not activate coverage. Some policies limit benefits during an initial waiting period. The policy controls.
