This would include COPD and CHF where most other agents and agencies would put consumers in a guaranteed issue life insurance policy. Now in most cases, other agencies just simply don’t have the training we do or they do not have the number of carriers offering the best life insurance plans that we do.

Either way, we have the training and know the underwriting niches of these carriers to help our clients go with the carriers that ask health questions they can answer “no” to as well as the carriers that will accept their health conditions.

The pricing for life insurance for seniors depends on age & health. Depending on the types of life insurance you may qualify for will affect the pricing. Insurance rates for a guaranteed issue policy are usually much higher than a level policy but that is ok because there are no health questions and acceptance is guaranteed.

That being said there is a 2-year waiting period for guaranteed issue policies but if you die from accidental death the full face amount is paid. This is the last resort if our agents cannot find you day one coverage if you are too sick.

Below is one of our best carriers and a chart showing their rates:

$10,000 Face Amount Policy is $83.99 monthly for a male non-smoker

American Amicable

$10,000 Face Amount Policy is $88.73 monthly for a male non-smoker

The reason we recommend American Amicable more than Mutual of Omaha in most cases is that their underwriting is more liberal we have taken more seniors with health issues and got them better company offers with American Amicable and our other carriers than Mutual of Omaha. However if you are healthy and you know it, Mutual of Omaha is your best option.

Pricing always varies depending on geographical locations in some cases or if you are adding on riders like terminal illness riders. This depends on the company, our agents explain all of this during the sign-up process.
