What Is No Exam Term Life Insurance?

No exam term insurance works just like regular term life insurance. It provides a set amount of coverage for a fixed number of years. Most policies are sold in 5-year increments for 10 to 30 years, and during this time, your coverage cannot change, regardless of your health.

Most people purchase a “term” that will extend until they reach retirement age, their children have moved out, or the mortgage is paid off. Once you’ve surpassed these important life events, your family’s need for financial protection should be minimal.

You can determine your policy’s, “face amount,” by adding up your debt, or calculating the amount of money you intend to earn during your career. Most no exam life insurance policies offer a minimum of $100,000 and as much as $3,000,000 of coverage depending on your age.

Every life insurance company has their own approval process, rates, and underwriting guidelines. By working with over 60 top-rated life insurers, we’re able to match our clients with the company that is the best fit for their unique situation.

Who Commonly Buys No Exam Term Life Insurance Policies?

Over the years, we’ve helped hundreds of clients with a no exam term life insurance policy. In the past, the clients who tend to benefit the most from these policies to include:

1. Anyone who is extremely afraid of doctors, or having their blood drawn
2. Long distance truck drivers (that don’t know their schedule more than a week or two in advance)
3. Traveling business executives with packed schedules
4. People with divorce decrees who are court-ordered to obtain life insurance ASAP
5. Business owners who need life insurance to secure a SBA Loan

With the threat of the Coronavirus, we’ve seen a huge increase in applications. Understandably,  some people do not like the idea of a stranger coming into their home to draw blood. Thankfully, some companies have even introduced a few products to adjust.

The following section provides a breakdown of the most common life insurance products that do not require an exam. We’ve also included some information about permanent or “whole life” insurance.

What types of “No Exam” life insurance policies are available?

Below we’ve listed the life insurance options our agency offers without a medical exam:

1. Term Life Insurance: Term policies are available to applicants between the ages of 21 and 70. Companies like Prudential and Penn Mutual offer a fixed death benefit of up to $3,000,000 with level rates that are guaranteed for 10 to 30 years.
2. Guaranteed Universal Life (GUL): GUL’s are also known as; term-to-90, term-to-95, term-to-100, or term-to-120 policies. They are available to people ages 21-65, and offer up to $3,000,000 in coverage with level rates until age 90 or later.
3. Whole Life Insurance: These “lifetime” policies are available to applicants until the age of 80 and are typically purchased for burial coverage. They provide fixed rates with a level death benefit of up to $50,000 until age 100 or 120.
4. Guaranteed Issue (GI) Life Insurance: GI policies are available to anyone between the ages of 50 and 85, regardless of their health issues. They offer a death benefit of up to $25,000, and do not health questions, or require an electronic health screening for approval. However, these policies have a two-year waiting period before full coverage is offered.
5. Graded Benefit Whole Life: These policies are like guaranteed issue life insurance and offer a death benefit of $25,000 or less.

How Much Does No Exam Term Life Insurance Cost?

No exam life insurance used to be substantially more expensive than traditional term life insurance. However over the last few months, the cost of a life insurance policy without an exam has become comparable to term policies that one.

Below we’ve provided some sample life insurance quotes by age and gender to help you estimate the difference in cost. Depending on your need for coverage, you can also secure a no exam policy as a temporary solution.

As an example, our client’s often purchase no exam coverage when they’re in a hurry to secure a small business loan. After they’ve secured their loan, they can replace their policy when they have a chance to complete an exam.

What are the “Cons” of No Exam Life Insurance?

As we mentioned earlier, no exam life insurance can be more expensive than a comparable term life policy that requires an exam. Here are some other potential downsides to no exam life insurance:

1. You’re not guaranteed to be approved for a policy. Although no life insurance application is “guaranteed” to be approved, sometimes there are errors in people’s medical records. While these errors can often be corrected, they can initially cause a life insurance application to get declined, delaying coverage.
2. Not all policies provide immediate coverage. While no exam term life, whole life, and guaranteed universal life insurance offer immediate coverage, guaranteed issue policies have a two-year “waiting period” where they only provide a limited amount of coverage.
3. Lower death benefit limits. Most no exam life insurance companies limit the amount of coverage you can qualify for to $3,000,000 or less. In you need more than $3,000,000 of coverage, you will need to complete an exam or purchase more than one policy.
4. Premiums (cost of insurance) may increase with age or in 5-year blocks. While our agency does not offer these policies, some well-known companies like AARP do, so make sure you read the fine print!
5. Some “whole life” policies expire at age 80. Our agency only offers whole life insurance policies that extend your coverage to age 100. However, some insurance companies sell “whole life” insurance policies that expire at age 80.
