Life Insurance Application Process
Our life insurance application process is easy to follow and will help ensure that you are getting the very best life insurance policy for your needs. Here's a breakdown of what you can expect:
- Get a quote. You can request a life insurance quote online or over the phone simply by telling us a little bit about yourself.
- Speak with an agent. You'll need to answer questions about your medical history and other factors that may affect your life insurance quote. The call regularly won't last more than 10 minutes, and when it's over, we'll recommend a life insurance policy that fits your needs.
- Complete an application. After you choose a life insurance policy, you'll complete a full application that will provide us with needed information to approve your coverage.
- Take a medical exam. The life insurance medical exam is used to determine your eligibility and finalize your rate. You can choose the time and place for this exam, and a qualified nurse will come to you. The medical exam is simple and shouldn't take more than 30 minutes.
- Underwriting begins. Underwriting is the process in which we review your application and assess your insurance risk. Be patient in this stage; the process may take a few weeks.

- Your age
- Your physical and mental health
