Question 1

Do I need a medical exam?

Accepted Answer

Often, no. Many of the policies I write use simplified or accelerated underwriting — a health questionnaire and a prescription check, no needles. For some products and coverage amounts an exam may be required; we'll discuss which path makes sense for your situation.

Question 2

How much does it cost?

Accepted Answer

Premiums vary based on age, health, tobacco use, coverage amount, and product type. Options often start around the price of a streaming subscription per month for younger applicants in good health, but actual rates are determined at underwriting. I'll quote multiple A-rated carriers so you can see real numbers, not estimates.

Question 3

Can I qualify with health conditions?

Accepted Answer

Usually, yes. Diabetes, high blood pressure, prior cancers, mental health history — most conditions can be insured with the right carrier. Different companies underwrite the same condition differently, which is exactly why working with an independent broker matters.

Question 4

How fast is coverage?

Accepted Answer

Some simplified-issue policies can issue same-day or within a few days. Fully underwritten policies typically take 2–6 weeks. I'll set expectations up front based on the product you choose.

Question 5

What does an independent broker cost me?

Accepted Answer

Nothing. You don't pay me — the carrier does, only if a policy issues. My compensation comes from the insurance company, not your premium.

Question 6

How are you paid?

Accepted Answer

Carriers pay brokers a commission when a policy is placed. This is standard across the industry. As an independent broker, I'm appointed with multiple companies, so I'm not incentivized to push any one product over another — the goal is the right fit, not the biggest commission.
