There is this perverse notion, an urban legend if you will, that if you get declined for life insurance you become life insurance toast from then on. You might as well buy accidental death insurance and just hope that space junk and not cancer is the cause of your...

I am currently working with a life insurance client who has yet to give me his real last name because he is so concerned that information he provided me just to shop his case will end up in MIB and ruin forever his reputation and chances of getting a fair shake at...

I just want to go on record as saying I don’t write this kind of post to brag. I share these victories occasionally to help keep the hope alive for so many with bipolar disorder or other mood disorders who have been declined or abused with a high rating for no...

Gosh. It’s been a while since I’ve talked about bipolar disorder life insurance and the continued success we are having placing reasonably priced life insurance for bipolar and the whole gamut of mood disorders. Since it has been a while let’s review...

I don’t think you would find a life insurance underwriter that would argue that the mortality risk for police life insurance or firefighter life insurance is higher than the average person on the street. Something about carrying guns and having to use them,...

Allow me one more time to bemoan the good old days when US Financial Life Insurance was still roaming the earth. They doled out good news in life insurance underwriting in their short life span than any other company around. It was called clinical underwriting. Just...

Let me answer the question first and then go on to explain. Tell the agent NO and go find an agent that can deal with the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. I have been helping a client with type 1 diabetes get life insurance. He had been declined by...

Declined life insurance applications leave most clients befuddled and the average agent not knowing what to do next. Was your life insurance declined for a reason that doesn’t make much sense to you? I’ve studied this end of the business pretty...

Not a day goes by that I don’t read some “how to” life insurance article that claims that being declined for life insurance is right up there with getting kicked out of the country club. You will just never be OK again! You will be black balled....

If you have ever had life insurance declined there is no doubt in my mind that you have an opinion as to whether that was a fair decision or not. If you were declined life insurance there is a very good chance that the decision is not one that is shared by all...

I’ve been in the life insurance business long enough to see a time when life insurance companies would outright deny life insurance policies for homosexual couples, citing “no legal financial justification”. They would then turn around and approve...

If you have bipolar disorder and have applied for life insurance then you might assume that life insurance underwriting of bipolar disorder is very straightforward. You apply. You tell them you have bipolar disorder. You get declined. With most companies it really is...

You know how it is when you’re learning to do something new. There’s a hard way to do it and there’s an easy way to do it. Almost without exception the hard way is the one that comes naturally. I’ve been learning for 3 years now how to get...

It’s a dilemma that occurs far too often. A husband dies without ever letting his wife know about life insurance he owned with her as beneficiary. A father or mother dies and the children were never told if they had life insurance or not. People lose life...

I’ve had health change surprises come out of nowhere before. I can still remember 30 years ago seeing the doctor for some innocuous thing and he did a blood workup. The result was a diagnosis of Raynauds disease. I was in my late 20’s and felt pretty good....
