We know no one asked us, but our editors at want to talk about the top trends of 2022 — there was ’90s fashion, vacationing in Italy and our personal favorite … no-medical-exam life insurance. (Hey, we’re insurance nerds.) While in the past, no-medical-exam policies offered minimal coverage at a high cost and were generally reserved for people who couldn’t get a traditional policy due to health or age, insurance companies are starting to catch up to the times. The onset of COVID-19 and an uptick in online shopping have created widespread availability for no-medical-exam life insurance policies that offer the same high coverage as a traditional term policy at the same competitive price — or...

With life insurance, both you and your insurance provider are taking a calculated risk. So it’s no surprise that most life insurance carriers won’t ink an agreement without more information about your health. Traditionally, life insurance policies have required a medical exam—a visit to the doctor, lab work, and potentially extensive paperwork—as part of the underwriting process.

But an insurer that issues coverage without evaluating your health and lifestyle takes on additional risk. For this reason, premium rates are often...

Any type of insurance—whether it’s for your car, home, or some sort of valuable item—comes with a risk, and an insurance company is going to charge you accordingly. The riskier it is to insure you, the higher your premium might be. That’s why car insurance companies want to know about your driving history before they write your policy, and it's why life insurance companies want to give you a medical exam. Getting life insurance isn’t much different than getting car insurance. But rather than checking for how many speeding tickets you’ve accumulated or at-fault car accidents you've been involved with, life insurance companies want to know how healthy you are before they’ll cover you. You...

The traditional life insurance application process includes a medical exam (also called a paramedical exam). To complete this exam, a trained technician meets with you (usually at your home), and you answer some questions about your medical history, give blood and urine samples, and have your height and weight measured. Let’s be honest, no one loves a paramedical exam, but for the bulk of consumers getting one as part of your application process makes sense. If you are relatively healthy and looking for coverage over $1 million, you will usually get a more favorable rate after completing a paramedical exam than if you do not have one. There are instances where skipping the...
