No Medical Life Insurance
By: Gary Tallon
When applying for life insurance many life insurance companies require you to
answer medical related questions and / or to undergo a medical examination as
part of the application process. These medical examinations are often required
as proof of your health status as given on your application form. They are used
by the life insurance companies to help them decide upon the insurance premium
you'll be charged for your life cover, and in some instances, as to whether you
will be given life insurance at all.
Life insurance products where intensive medical questioning and / or a medical
examination is required effectively penalise you for pre-existing medical
conditions, pushing up the cost of life cover. Taking a medical examination may
also prove stressful, especially for the elderly who are looking for life
insurance coverage later on in life.
Increasingly though, life insurance companies are offering life insurance
products where no medical is required. What's more some life companies even
guarantee acceptance before you apply!
What is no medical life insurance?
No medical life insurance, to use a well-known phrase, does exactly what it says
on the tin! It is a life insurance product where no medical examination is
required. You may not even have to answer medical questions and yet still be
guaranteed acceptance for life insurance. No medical life insurance is open to
people of all ages, so whether you're 20 or 65, no medical life insurance can
give you the peace of mind that your loved ones will be financially secure in
the event of your death during the term of the life insurance policy.
You may be questioning the ethics of such a life insurance scheme at this point?
If you are don't worry! No medical life insurance is all above board, and is in
fact offered by some of the most well-known insurance companies in the UK. Even
supermarkets like Tesco for instance now have a no medical insurance policy
available for the over 60s.
The premiums on life insurance where no medical is required are competitive too.
Life cover can be acquired for as little as £7 per month, with some life
companies guaranteeing that the insurance premiums on no medical policies will
not rise through the life of the policy. Of course, how much you pay into the
life insurance policy each month will affect the final life insurance total
available upon death. Generally, there are no issues involved with increasing
the life insurance premiums later on of your own accord should you wish to do
so.
