Life Insurance Quotes Made Simple — Call and Compare in Minutes

Life insurance cost depends on your age, health, policy type, and coverage amount. Term life is the most affordable, while whole life costs more but lasts a lifetime and builds cash value. Younger, healthier applicants pay the least. For an exact price tailored to you, call 1-800-MEDIGAP (1-800-633-4427) for a free quote.

Term life covers you for a set period, usually 10 to 30 years, and is much cheaper — ideal for income replacement during working years. Whole life is permanent coverage that lasts your entire life and builds cash value, but costs significantly more. Many families combine both to balance affordability with lifelong protection.

A common guideline is 10 to 12 times your annual income, but the right amount depends on your debts, mortgage, the income you'd need to replace, future costs like college, and final expenses. Subtract existing savings and coverage to find the gap. A licensed agent can give you a personalized number in minutes by phone.

Yes. Simplified-issue policies skip the medical exam and ask only a few health questions, while guaranteed-issue (final expense) plans require no exam and no health questions at all. No-exam coverage is widely available, including for seniors, though benefit amounts may be smaller. Call 1-800-MEDIGAP to see what you qualify for.

In most cases, no. The death benefit your beneficiaries receive is generally paid free of federal income tax. Exceptions can apply if the payout earns interest before being paid out, or if the policy is part of a large taxable estate. For most families, the benefit arrives income-tax-free when they need it.

Most life insurance claims are paid within about 14 to 60 days, and many within 30 days, once the insurer receives a completed claim form and a certified death certificate. Filing promptly with complete paperwork is the best way to speed up payment. Exact timelines can vary by state and by insurer.

Yes. Seniors can qualify for final expense and guaranteed-issue whole life policies, often into their 70s and 80s, with no medical exam required. These plans typically offer $25,000 to $50,000 to cover funeral and burial costs. Premiums depend on age and plan type — call 1-800-MEDIGAP for a free senior quote.

If anyone depends on your income — a spouse, children, or aging parents — or you'd leave behind a mortgage, debts, or funeral costs, life insurance helps protect them financially. People often buy it after marriage, having a child, buying a home, or co-signing a major loan. If your death would create a financial hardship for loved ones, you likely need it.
