No Medical Questions Life Insurance
If you have been searching for life insurance with no medical questions, you’ve just discovered guaranteed issue whole life insurance. It is designed for seniors and individuals typically 50-80. The insured individual must be legally able to consent to the insurance. Power of Attorney (POA) is not acceptable to any insurer at this point, sorry.
With that said…
What you will find most common among the polices issued as “Guaranteed Issue” are the following attributes-
- No medical exam required
- No medical questions – Yes, including someone with terminal cancer, HIV/AIDS, or Alzheimer’s Disease can qualify.
- Reduced Death Benefit for the first 2 to 3 policy years – Accidental deaths do pay out the full face amount.
- Whole life insurance and guaranteed cash value accrual
- You cannot currently be confined to a nursing home or skilled nursing care facility.

Should I Buy a No Medical Question Whole Life Insurance Policy?
Best advice, a guaranteed issue life insurance policy should be the absolute last resort. It is generally for people with very serious medical conditions or other high risk classifications.
If you decide you want a life insurance with no health questions, understand you will have to pay a considerably higher premium and except a 2 year limited benefit period in which your loved ones will receive return of all premiums plus interest. NO life insurance company waives this period or has premiums that compare with medically underwritten life insurance.
As far as the interest paid…
It is often 10% per year depending on the insurance company.
Once the 2 years has expired, the policy is like any whole life insurance policy, your premiums are level for your lifetime.
We would recommend you exhaust other whole life insurance options before purchasing. Call us, we can help you sort this out.
Before You Decide Guaranteed Acceptance Life Insurance Sounds Good, Let’s Be Sure You Can’t Qualify for Something Less Expensive
There is not much sense in paying for lower benefits at a higher cost, right? A good percentage of people in high risk situations can still qualify for a no medical exam, simplified issue life insurance policy, versus more expensive “guaranteed issue” life insurance coverage.
We have insured tough cases with medically underwritten policies (has some health history questions) plenty of times. Diabetes types I and II or folks with a preexisting medical condition situation… a heart attack history, heart transplants, stroke history, previous cancer history, rheumatoid arthritis, MS, even applicants well over 300 pounds and the list goes on.
We encourage you to avoid “no medical questions life insurance.”
Be well aware…
Health conditions are one of our specialties and we like working for the underdog…to save you money and obtaining the best coverage possible for you and your family!
Just for starters… if you can answer all of the following questions with “NO”, then you are a good candidate for a graded benefits policy, and don’t need to be paying the extra cost of guaranteed issue.
1) Have you been diagnosed as having or been treated by a
Physician for:
a. Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), Acquired Immune
Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) or AIDS Related Complex
(ARC)?
b. Alzheimer’s disease or Dementia, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
(ALS), mental retardation or Down’s Syndrome or do you
require the assistance of another person for dressing,
bathing, toileting, or mobility or do you use an oxygen tank?
2) Have you, within the past 2 (two) years:
a. Had a heart attack (myocardial infarction) or stroke
(cerebral vascular accident)?
b. Have you or are you now awaiting an organ or bone marrow transplant
(except as a donor)?

prescribed dialysis?

professional to be admitted to, a nursing home, hospice,
extended care or special treatment facility or are you now
hospitalized?

barbiturates or hallucinogens except as prescribed

You may even qualify for more even more affordable, permanent coverage by answering a few more health questions. The best way to see if you qualify, is simply give us a call.
If You Answered “Yes” to Any of the Above Questions…
With any “yes,” in the questions above, we may need to consider a guaranteed issue life insurance policy.
If you are age 75 or older and have a terminal illness or medically uninsurable condition, we recommend that you consider a prepaid burial plan with a funeral home. Guaranteed Acceptance Whole Life is quite expensive at these ages particularly for me.
Now, if you or a love one have been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, Dementia, terminal cancer or have kidney failure, this is the type of life insurance for you.
What if I’ve been Declined for Life Insurance Already?
If you’ve been declined coverage by multiple insurance companies, you may find that life insurance with no medical questions is your only answer. This should only be determined by a licensed professional independent insurance agent/broker. This individual will shop for the right product and company that can offer your the financial coverage you want.
Even if you have been declined multiple times…who have you been working with? Coverage should be shopped out to the right companies and policy types you can personally prequalify for.
Folks, my recommendation is always to apply for the least expensive type of coverage you are able to prequalify for. That is the point of this article. With that said, these are very sound solutions for your needs and have the benefit of no medical exam and the ease of issue to boot.
Just about anyone can qualify.
Guaranteed Issue Life Insurance Conclusion
Be careful of the product, carrier or agent you place your business with. More often than not, we come across people who have bought, were “sold” or did not understand what they were purchasing and the family ended up in a bad situation financially. There are some big name life insurance companies that push guaranteed acceptance coverage on TV. High paid endorsers are no life insurance experts and employed to divert your attention from the product limitations.
Guaranteed issue coverage is the least affordable type of life insurance. It always has the most limitations of whole life insurance policies regardless of the insurance company. You may have heard it is “affordable.” Compared to other types of whole life insurance, it usually is not. The value of ownership is lower.
Many well trusting consumers are sold overpriced, lower benefit policies. Realize no health questions life insurance equals reduced benefits for the first 2-3 years of your coverage. Your beneficiary will not receive anywhere near the full death benefit unless you pass away from an accident during this period. Be sure you understand…insurance companies cannot give you full benefits with guaranteed acceptance life insurance as there are no health questions to evaluate your as a risk. Since they cannot assess you accurately as a risk, put a higher premium and limited benefit on the first couple years to negate the risk.
