There are some things, things medical, mental and lifestyle, that some insurance companies may never let go of. 15 or 20 years after the fact it is entirely possible that there are companies that will unflinchingly say no thanks to your life insurance business even...

Being in the impaired risk end of the life insurance business, and specializing in helping people who aren’t having any fun with their life insurance experience, almost everyone who calls or emails me has on thing in common. The have unfortunately allowed the...

OK. I made it up just to get your attention. No, seriously. Companies are just blowing me away with the offers and approvals they are giving on low stage and grade cancers. In this case I have a company approving a policy at preferred 3 months after a melanoma was...

Second only to life insurance agents for being blasphemed by the life insurance buying public is the Medical Information Bureau, or MIB. The MIB is a super warehouse of health and lifestyle information gathered from life insurance applications as they are processed by...

I’ve been working some particularly tough impaired risk life insurance cases lately and it really drove it home to me that if a person with higher risk life insurance impairment is using an agent who only represents one or two or three companies, they have...

I feel like one of those people who puts tacks in a map every time they visit another state. I am literally sticking pins in the type 1 diabetes life insurance approval map and the number of areas where we are getting approvals is growing every few weeks. As covered...

Although the combination of affordable life insurance and private pilots has never been the norm across the scope of all life insurance companies, there hasn’t been a time in the last decade, almost two, where the match couldn’t be made with the right...

It’s what we’re all looking for, right? The path of least resistance. I know whenever I can I would prefer to do as little as possible and, really, honestly, I would kind of like instant gratification. Hey it leaves more time for the fun stuff. Getting...

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...

Some years ago, like 7 or 8 years, I tried doing some on line trading of stocks. After a couple of months it was obvious I was horrible at it so I hung up my trading software and haven’t been back. To this day I still get calls from stock brokers who always...

Being primarily a health risk life insurance agent I get to talk to a lot of people about diseases and problems they didn’t have even just a few years prior. Especially guys have this bombproof thing going on where they truly believe as long as they work hard...

I’ve been working on a life insurance case that was recently approved. The client let me know that he had applied through another agent before he found my blog and decided to give me a shot. I am always certain that I’ve quoted the best price available so...

There is an application process in the life insurance industry called “Telelife”. It’s only offered by a few companies. It was first put in place about 15 years ago by the then Federal Kemper Life. At the time I worked for Eterm.com and we were told...

I recklessly went out on a limb yesterday spreading a rumor that a major, well know A+ rated life insurance company was jumping on all of the cancer detection and treatment victories of the last several years and have changed their underwriting guidelines and...

While my primary focus remains impaired risk life insurance and over 50 life insurance, I’ve left no lack of evidence in this past year’s blog posts that there is so much more available. There is still nothing quite like getting an approval on life...
