How it works
Answer a few questions
Usually takes minutes.
Answer health questions
Many applicants don’t need a medical exam.
Get your decision
Often in minutes. Coverage begins once you’re approved and the policy is issued.
Approval isn’t guaranteed.
“I'd been putting this off for three years because I dreaded the sales call. This was nothing like that. I finally understand what I have.”
Common questions
Will TMG Insurance see my application?
No. TMG Insurance doesn't see your health answers or your application. Essential Life, a licensed agency, handles them directly with the insurance company. We may let TMG Insurance know that an application was submitted through this page.
Does TMG Insurance get paid for this?
Yes. Essential Life pays TMG Insurance a flat referral fee when an application is submitted through this page. It doesn't change your price. The insurance company sets rates, not the person who referred you.
What's the catch?
There isn't one. Applying is free, you're never obligated to buy, and this page doesn't expire. Your premium and coverage are set through underwriting and aren't guaranteed until a policy is issued.
Do I need a medical exam?
Many applicants don't. If you're 60 or under and qualify for the carrier's accelerated process, you can typically apply without an exam or lab work. Accelerated applicants pay the same rate as those who take an exam.
How long does a decision take?
Many applicants hear back in minutes. Some take 24–48 hours.
How long does coverage last?
Term coverage lasts for the period you choose, from 10 to 40 years. When the term ends, coverage ends unless the policy offers renewal or conversion. You own the policy individually. It isn't tied to an employer.
Can I get help while applying?
Yes. A licensed agent is available by phone at (470) 238-6154, at no cost.
