• How To Qualify

  Every life insurance company sets standards that must be met in order to qualify for a life insurance policy whether it is a no physical life insurance policy or a policy for which you need a medical. In recent years life insurance companies have extended the requirements which would qualify the applicant for a life insurance policy.

  All that is required is that you answer a few questions about your medical history, your occupation and any avocation in which you may participate. It may seem that the life insurance company is issuing a policy based on your word. This is true for the people who answer the questions accurately. There are those who may think that they can exclude pertinent medical information and have a policy issued. This is not likely to happen.

  The life insurance company investigates each case. Usually they can get all the information they need from the Medical Information Bureau, fondly referred to as the MIB. This organization gathers information on people, with their permission, which is used in the future to help insurance companies decide on the types of risk that they should take on. The MIB is used whether you apply for a no physical term life insurance policy or one that is large enough to require a physical.

  The key, therefore, to qualifying for a no physical term life insurance policy is the truthfulness of the applicant. There are some cases that may be borderline but the underwriters will lean in your favor if you are truthful. If you attempt to pull the wool over their eyes they will decline the policy without hesitation. Also, keep in mind that every policy has a contestable period. This is usually about 2 years. If, within the 2 year period, the life insurance company discovers something that would cause them to have declined the policy initially they may withdraw it.

• Types Of Policies And Amounts Issued

  If you are between age 18 and age 65 and in good health you are likely to qualify for a no physical term life insurance policy.
