These days, it is very much possible for people like you to get covered for a specified period of time without being required to take a physical exam. This policy is called term life insurance no physical exam and is being offered by a number of insurance companies.
The major catch of this form of life insurance, aside from the no physical exam aspect, is that it is very convenient to apply. All you have to do is to go online and search for life insurance company websites and fill out their short online application form. Since you would no longer be taking the medical exam, you will be asked to answer health questions for the insurers to have an idea of your health condition. Once you’re done answering those forms, and if qualified, you get instant approval and receive coverage right on the spot.
However, there are few trade offs for this policy. A term life insurance no physical exam policy can be a bit more expensive as compared to those that require a medical exam. Another thing to keep in mind is this is not a guaranteed issue product. A guaranteed issue, when used in connection with health insurance means that a plan will be offered regardless of medical condition. Although there is a no medical exam requirement in this policy, you are still to go through answering those very detailed questions about your health history and it is extremely significant to answer it as accurately as possible.
Most life insurance companies, as a condition of issuance, also reserve the right conduct an investigation before disbursing any death benefits. As a matter of fact, most of them have become very skillful over the years in determining any fraudulent applications resulting to a canceled policy or not receiving benefit altogether. So if you think you have a condition that would not qualify you for a term life insurance no physical exam, be sure to open this up with your insurer for some arrangements. Each life insurance company looks at risk differently so it makes sense to visit several of them.
