Some sample rates shown offer instant decision underwriting with no medical exam required for those who are in good health or have minor health issues. Term life plans tend to be renewable, without evidence of insurability, to age 90+, and most offer the right to convert to a permanent insurance plan without having to undergo further underwriting.
Zieba described the life insurance application process. "After the initial quote, our life insurance experts will recommend the best fit for the customer. We handle the application preparation and retrieval of medical records so that the selected life insurer can make an underwriting decision. For applicants who are in good health, it's often possible to skip the exam altogether and receive an instant decision offer of insurance in one phone call."

Women are Underinsured
When it comes to life insurance, women are underinsured. According to LIMRA, "approximately 14 percent of women – more than 20 million – lost their life insurance coverage in 2020." As of 2021, only 47 percent of adult women owned life insurance – lower than the ownership rate of men, at 58 percent.
Female life insurance ownership has been decreasing for the last five years in a row, leaving families unprotected (Forbes Advisor, 2024). However, research indicates that 66% of American parents worry about their family's ability to cover expenses if they were to pass away.
