Different types of life insurance policies
As mentioned above, there are two major types of life insurance – Traditional Life Insurance Plans and No Medical Life Insurance Policies.Traditional life insurance plans ask a series of health questions and usually involve the insured completing one or more medical tests. Whereas, No Medical life insurance policies can be broken down into the following two categories:
- Simplified-Issue Plans – These ask a short series of health questions and have no medical test(s). Approval usually depends on how those questions are answered.
- Guaranteed-Issue Policies – These have no medical tests, no health questions and approval is typically automatic.
Important details of No Medical Life Insurance
Many Simplified-Issue Life insurance policies offer coverage from day one. However, Guaranteed-Issue policies have a two-year waiting period, which means that if the insured dies in the first two years by a non-accidental death, the payout is limited to a return-of-premium, plus interest.Our insurance advisors will assist you with finding the best insurance option across more than 20 insurance companies.
