With so much uncertainty about the economy and the spread of COVID-19, taking action feels good. And it feels even better to take action from the comfort of our own homes, without exposing ourselves or our loved ones to additional risk. That's why now is the perfect time for non-med policies.

While full medical underwriting is still a possibility, there may be delays in administering the exam, as well as processing the results and completing the underwriting process. Plus, if you have clients who are nervous about letting someone into their house, non-med policies solve that problem for everyone. Not only are they faster to apply for, but they're faster for the carriers to process - and everyone can stay safely quarantined during the process. That's a win/win.

What You Should Know about Non-Med Carrier Options

Keep in mind that not all of the carriers listed below are 100% no-exam, but they're a great place to start. Non-med policies also have a few limitations - face amounts are often lower, and issue ages may be limited. An underwriter will still review your client's application and, based on their answers, may request further information from their doctor or ask for an exam to be completed at a later time. However, if your client meets program guidelines and is relatively healthy, there's a good chance their app will sail through.

That's good news for us, because we're fully remote, fully staffed, and ready to process your business. We offer several eApplication processing options, all available within Insureio:

  • Our ATeam (they're the best - seriously)
  • iGo
  • ApplicInt
  • Carrier-based processes

We may be biased, but we highly recommend our ATeam's concierge-level application fulfillment service. They've been doing remote interviews and helping clients sign their apps over the phone for more than 15 years! Of course, you can still use iGO, ApplicInt, or carrier-direct processes if you prefer.
