Instant Life Insurance No Exam

Instant life insurance is a type of insurance that can be done immediately upon approval of a medical exam. This type of insurance can be purchased immediately after the approval of a medical exam. An instant life insurance policy is issued immediately following approval of a medical exam.

Among the biggest frustrations for advisors and clients alike is the amount of time it takes a typical life insurance application to go through the underwriting process.

While the pandemic has created challenges in all areas of life, one benefit that has resulted in the opportunity for healthy clients to obtain significant amounts of insurance without the requirement of an exam or having their medical records pulled, potentially knocking weeks (if not months off the process).

Instant Approval Life Insurance

Insurance carriers have learned how to leverage technology to reduce their cost per application and still have the protective value needed to make appropriate underwriting decisions.

Relatively few carriers offered “accelerated underwriting” prior to the pandemic, which is now commonplace in the industry.

The next step, instant approval, is now available with select carriers, which is proving to enhance the client and advisor experience. To simplify the available options, here is a quick summary:

What is the difference between full underwriting, accelerated underwriting and instant-approval underwriting?

Full underwriting requires a full application (typically completed by the advisor) with a paramedical examination and attending physician statements.

Accelerated underwriting is typically initiated by the advisor completing a “drop ticket” to the insurance carrier, who then engages the client directly through a phone call or an online interview to complete the application.

The carrier underwriter will then determine if they are able to make an offer with the data they have on hand, or if full underwriting will be required. If the client is accepted into accelerated underwriting, the approval is expected within 2-3 business days in most cases and then another 5-7 days to issue the policy.

This process is typically available for clients 18-60, who would otherwise qualify at Standard rates or better. The death benefit amount will typically range from $1,000,000 – $3,000,000 depending on the carrier.

Instant Approval takes accelerated underwriting one step further by automating the entire process. Rather than waiting days for approval, a qualifying applicant could be approved within minutes.

Like accelerated underwriting, qualifying candidates are typically in the 18-60 age range seeking up to $3,000,000 in coverage (again, depending on the carrier).

How are insurance carriers able to do this?

Insurance carriers have learned they receive little value for their dollars spent in paying for exams and medical records for young, healthy clients. In addition, with the client data obtained through the accelerated and instant approval processes, they can run identity verification, prescription checks, credit scores, motor vehicle reports, medical information bureau queries (and more) instantaneously. These enormous databases allow the carriers to identify potential underwriting issues.

What happens if my client isn’t “instantly approved”?

In short, they move down the line. If a client has an application submitted into an “instant approval” program and the insurance carrier is not able to immediately approve the application.

The file is moved into the accelerated underwriting program, with hopes of still getting approval without an exam or having medical records pulled and within 2-3 days.

If the client is not accepted into the accelerated underwriting program, the file then moves to full underwriting.

For best results, prequalifying the client for underwriting using BUI’s Generic Underwriting Guide is highly recommended. What “Instant Approval” products should I have on my radar?
