Non Medical Insurance 101

It’s about time  we break down the purpose and of  Non Medical Life Insurance and what it really means to your pocketbook. First off if you are healthy, and have no lifestyle issues and looking into purchasing a non-medical insurance you could be wasting your hard earned dollars and should simply apply to regular underwritten life insurance. Non- Medical Life Insurance has a time and place, and lately at Lifeman Insurance we have noticed that excessive marketing on TV has a lot of people looking into a product that is priced very high specifically for people who have no other means or options of getting approved.

What is Non Medical Life Insurance

Non Medical life insurance is for those  individuals who are not in their finest health, have lifestyle issues, and who need  life insurance coverage but are very concerned about a decline. They may have suffered from Cancer, high Blood Pressure, Drug Use, alcoholism and worry that they may not be approved through traditional life insurance.

Case Study Example for the Ideal Candidate:
Francis Peters has it very rough health wise. He had a treatable cancer 10 years ago and a heart attack on his mid 40’s. He is also scared of needles and suffers from white coat syndrome, which effects his blood pressure when he see a nurse ,even though he has no issues normally. He recently remarried and is having a child within the year. His wife is pushing him to get life insurance coverage but they are both concerned that he will get declined. He contacts a High Risk Insurance Specialist at Lifeman Insurance and explains his situation. From all the information gathered it looks like he would likely get declined if following regularly underwritten life insurance route. Instead it is recommend he pursue the non medical life insurance from two separate companies as the amounts are usually capped. He purchased a 50k permanent insurance policy from Assumption life and a 100k Term 20 Policy from Canada Protection Plan. Although the premiums are expensive the insurance starts right away, he answer 10-15 medical questions on the application and does a quick phone interview confirming his answers. The application is approved almost instantly and the policy is delivered to his household.

Case Study Example for a Non-Ideal Candidate:
Joseph Patterson is perfectly health, he has preferred blood pressure reading and has never been sick in 10 years. He is watching his favorite TV show when a commercial comes on discussing life insurance and how easy it is to get approved.  The Life Insurance is Non Medical, he calls up the company and gets a quote for $100 dollars a month for 50,000. He likes the idea of instant coverage but the price seems really steep. He contact Lifeman Insurance where he is given a quote of $100 for 500,0000 in coverage, but he would have to do a medical. Option B seems much better suited to him as he is getting 450,000 dollars more coverage for the same price. The only draw back is the medical.
