Common questions
Do I need a medical exam to apply?
Most applicants don't. If your health class qualifies as Standard non-tobacco or better and you're 60 or under, you can typically complete the application without a medical exam or lab work.
How long does it take to get a decision?
Many applicants get a decision in minutes. In some cases it can take up to 24–48 hours.
Is there a cost to apply?
No. Applying doesn't cost anything. Your actual premium and coverage are determined through underwriting and aren't guaranteed until a policy is issued.
Do I pay more for the faster, no-exam process?
No — applicants who qualify for the accelerated process pay the same rate as applicants who go through a full medical exam. It's not a convenience surcharge.
Can I get help if I have questions while applying?
Yes. This page is presented by a licensed independent insurance brokerage, not an automated funnel — you can reach a real person if you need help.
