Burial insurance has 2 different types of policies you can apply with which is simplified issue whole life & guaranteed issue whole life.

simplified issue whole life does not have a waiting period for policy payout. Guaranteed issue whole life always has a 2 year waiting period for policy payout.

Simplified Issue Whole Life

To qualify you will have to answer health questions on the life insurance application. In addition to this you will have to consent to a health & prescription history check. That is all the life insurance company will do because with simplified issue they will not perform a med exam.

If everything checks out you will be approved for burial insurance with no waiting periods.

Guaranteed Issue Whole Life

A guaranteed acceptance policy does not have any health questions or medical underwriting at all. Acceptance is guaranteed however there is always a 2 year waiting period associated with guaranteed burial insurance. Now if the insured dies within the first two years the beneficiary will still receive the premiums paid in plus a percentage of interest(usually 10% interest).

Keep in mind these are both types of permanent coverage.

Term Life

A term life plan does not have any waiting periods associated with the coverage. There are 2 types full underwritten plans & simplified issue term life. Keep in mind simplified issue term life is 20-30% more expensive compared to fully underwritten plans. In addition to this there are not a lot of options to choose from compared to fully underwritten plans.

This means we are going to focus on fully underwritten plans. Now when it comes to fully underwritten term the company you are applying with is going to order a med exam, Attend Physician Statements(APS),check your medical and prescription history.

They are going to do a deep dive into your health history and in most cases if you have a history of health issues they will give you higher premium rates. A life insurance agent may quote you at a preferred rate depending on how he field underwrites you. Then the life insurance company finds something like a history of non-cancerous polyps on your medical records.

The preferred rate just jumped up to a Standard policy rate or Table A-P which can be 800% more expensive depending on the company.

Below we are going to provide sample health questions to one of the best term life companies which would be Transamerica. Keep in mind that even if you can answer “no” to the health questions whatever turns up in a medical exam or APS records can still disqualify you.
