Affordable High Risk Life Insurance is Available For You

Looking into high risk life insurance while having is certainly not pleasant think about, let alone straight forward. No one enjoys shopping for insurance, period!!  Let’s face it, no matter what, this type of financial planning, life insurance is not pleasant to think about.  However, we all have to be responsible and deal with it while we can.  It just brings peace of mind and closure to your financial planning by protecting your family and or business interests.

With that said, lets get underway in helping you understand what you’re searching for.

Who Is High Risk Coverage For?

Special or High Risk life insurance is designed for applicants who are at much greater risk to the insurer than other applicants in their age group.

The real problem is…

Literally, thousands of life insurance consumers, men and/or women who have been evaluated as “high risk,” face real challenges in obtaining affordable, life insurance.

Why?

High risk classification could be related to serious health issues, lifestyle choices, career, hobbies or even a driving record.

Do you have COPD or Diabetes that may have complications? How about multiple moving violations/accidents?  Maybe you work up on power lines for a utility company or are an underground miner?  Interested in hobbies like flying or scuba diving?

What these life insurance risks ALL have in common is that they are frequently turned down (declined) or “rated up” drastically for coverage.  If you’re one of these high risk consumers, you may even have a bad taste in your mouth or have just considered giving up on having affordable Life Insurance coverage.

Don’t lose heart though.  It may be hard to believe that you may very well have multiple options for life insurance especially if you have been previously declined.

We work with all the top carriers…dozens of them.  They all evaluate your individual risk profile different.

What Can You Expect in Applying For A High Risk Life Insurance Policy?

Since high risk life insurance is of greater risk to any life insurance company, you can expect to have an considerably higher premium over what a normal risk would be to the same insurer.  Sometimes it is hard to understand and accept the factors that insurers use to rate the risks to cover applicants.

Yes, even a driving record with a number of speeding tickets is of concern to a life insurance company.  Even if you have never been in an accident or not.  Speeding tickets are considered a very significant risk factor.  Whatever the reason, you will not be getting the ultra low rates you hear advertised on the radio if you are in need of high risk life insurance.  Those are quotes are for people in optimum health and pose no other clear risk to the insurer.

Affordable, high risk coverage is not going to be found at State Farm, Allstate or Farmers Insurance.  What you will find there is out of sight rates or worse yet, a declined application put on your MIB (medical information bureau) record.

To get this right the first time, seek out an independent life insurance agent/broker who works with a lot of carriers and specializes in handling tough to insure cases.  A reputable, seasoned, “high risk” independent will sort out companies that will make you the best offer.

High volume call centers are a ticket for disappointment with high risk cases.

Remember, your independent broker/agent is your advocate here.  You want them focused on your needs, not the next caller who needs life insurance who very likely has a different personal situation.  You are a special case if you are considered high risk.

Not all life insurance companies will be able to accept your risk.  Others may offer coverage, but it is still a bit expensive.  This is where the shopping really begins.

Some Miscellaneous Advice on High Risk Life Insurance

There are actually numerous insurance companies that regularly offer affordable life insurance coverage, whether you truly need high risk life insurance or not.  As a specialist team working with these carriers, we are able to “shop” your specific needs to these particular carriers to find you the most competitive rate available even in a special situation.  Special Risk Life Insurance maybe the answer to your dilemma.  All of our companies have top notch financial ratings with AM Best assuring you that your coverage is here to stay for as long as you need it.

If you think that a high risk life insurance policy is too expensive because of your health or lifestyle, you’ll be surprised to see how affordable a policy can be when properly handled by someone who really knows what they are doing. Most people have the misconception that because they have a condition such as diabetes or even prostate cancer that they can’t qualify for a life insurance policy, let alone be affordable.   This is why it is very important to have an advocate that has the right experience.  Your not going to qualify for the lowest rates if an insurance company believes you to be a high risk, but you can still find very affordable options with a specialist who handles consumers in less than perfect health regularly.

What A Special Risk Life Independent Broker Can For You…

High Risk Life Insurance cases are not easily quoted or accepted by many of the companies.  You will spend countless hours trying to talk to the right companies who may take your case.  Even then, you may be sold the wrong product and/or end up being overcharged.

We can secure affordable offers of coverage for clients that have Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, High Blood Pressure…even Prostate Cancer among many other medical conditions.  We can also get you affordable coverage if you are a Pilot or a Scuba Diver and at rates much lower than most have expected.

In extreme cases, we do offer Guaranteed Acceptance whole life insurance.  We have a few insurers that offer special risk life insurance regardless of your health, lifestyle, driving record etc.

Be careful who you choose to place your business with.  Many agents/agencies just do not have this kind experience or worse, are captive with one company.  “ABC Life Insurance Company” (fictitious life insurer)  is probably not a sound solution either.  Watch the big sales offices.  Those call centers frequently hire salaried agents and are high pressured to make lots of sales.  They don’t have the time to shop your case effectively.

The difference is buying High Risk Life Insurance is in how we shop your needs directly to insurance company underwriters.  We obtain actual tentative offers we bring you before you ever apply.  There are no “accurate” quick quotes for high risk life insurance applicants if you are looking for the lowest cost.  Life insurance underwriters determine your rate on a case by case basis.

Health condition, high risk life insurance does demand a fully independent and seasoned life agent/broker who has not only access to many carriers but also knows how to work with life insurance company underwriters to secure you a good offer instead of a decline or unreasonable rate up.

High Risk Life Insurance in Conclusion

Pete, Peat and Repeat…you should only work with an experienced professional agent or agency.  Why?  Special Risk/High Risk Life Insurance takes a greater level of training and experience than simple term life insurance with those people in ideal health.

Having a team dedicated people working with specific carriers that are most liberal to higher risks is our silver bullet.  That is the key to real savings and the coverage you want.

Good representation will provide you with the knowledge and the products best for your situation. You will understand what the insurance company is going to ask you and how it’s going to impact your coverage and premiums.  You will have access to the most competitive rates from the top Life Insurers in the business and further removing all the stress of locating those particular carriers.
