Graded Death Benefit Life Insurance

Do you think the best life insurance companies may not give you the coverage you need? Well I have some interesting information for you.

If you can’t qualify for traditional coverage, most people can qualify for a policy with a Graded Death Benefit.

Graded Death Benefit Highlights:

  • No medical exam
  • Very few medical questions – usually 8 to 12 questions, compared to over 40 questions on a traditional application.
  • Quick Approval – Can normally get approved and have policy effective in just a couple days.
  • Reduced Death Benefit for first 2 to 3 years – Accidental deaths do pay out the full face value immediately.
  • Term or Whole life insurance plans are available

Let’s Also Be Sure You Can’t  Qualify for Something Less Expensive

A large percentage of people with tough cases can still qualify for a traditional life insurance policy, which costs a lot less than a graded policy.  Click here to compare Traditional vs. Graded policies.

For example, we’ve insured the following tough cases with traditional policies:

Diabetics types I and II, Obese individuals up to 400 lbs, heart attack history, multiple DUI’s, heart disease, stroke history, cancer history, epileptics, multiple sclerosis… as you can see, just about anything.

If You Can’t Answer “NO” to the Above Questions…

In that case, we now need to look at a guaranteed issue policy.

For example, if you’ve been diagnosed with terminal cancer or HIV/AIDS or Alzheimer’s Disease, the only type of life insurance you can qualify for is guaranteed issue policy with no medical questions.

What if I’ve been Declined for Life Insurance?

If you’ve been declined by multiple insurance companies, you’ve found the right policy for you.

Just about anyone can qualify, so call us at 877-443-9467 for an instant quote and policy details.  The application can be completed by phone.
