Before You Buy

How to Check an Insurer Before You Sign

Whichever company an agent recommends, these quick checks help you avoid surprises.

  1. Step 1
    Confirm the license

    Make sure both the insurer and the agent are licensed in your state. Your state insurance department can confirm this.

  2. Step 2
    Look up complaint history

    The NAIC Consumer Insurance Search shows complaint data and basic company information reported by state regulators.

  3. Step 3
    Check current financial strength

    Ask the agent for the insurer's current rating from an independent agency such as AM Best, and when it was issued.

  4. Step 4
    Read the benefit terms

    Ask whether the benefit is level, graded, or modified, how long any waiting period lasts, and what is paid if death occurs during it.

Answers & Guidance

Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common questions about coverage, underwriting, and rates.

How does LifePlanQuotes.com help me find the best rate?
LifePlanQuotes.com is an independent consumer resource and referral service. When you call, we connect you with an independent, third-party agent licensed in your state who can compare options from multiple insurers. We do not sell insurance or employ agents, and we cannot guarantee you will get the lowest available price.
Are quotes 100% free with no obligation to purchase?
Yes. Our guides and the phone referral are free, and you are never obligated to buy. Premiums are set by insurers and regulated by state insurance departments. Ask the agent how they are paid; agents are typically compensated by the insurer.
Can I get approved for life insurance without a medical exam?
Often, yes. Many insurers offer term and final expense policies without a medical exam, using health questions and database checks instead. Guaranteed issue final expense plans skip health questions but usually limit the benefit for illness-related deaths during the first two years. Eligibility, limits, and decision times vary by insurer.
What is the main difference between Life Insurance and Final Expense Insurance?
Traditional life insurance (such as term life) typically offers large coverage amounts ($250,000 to $2,000,000+) designed to replace lost income, pay off home mortgages, or provide college funds for children. Final expense insurance is smaller permanent whole life coverage ($2,000 to $40,000) tailored for seniors to fund funeral services, burial plots, cremation, and medical bills.
What happens when I call (888) 681-6320?
You will be connected with an independent, third-party insurance agent licensed in your state. The agent reviews your coverage goals, answers your questions, compares available options from the insurers they represent, and can help you apply if you choose. Phone hours are Mon–Fri, 8 a.m.–8 p.m. Eastern Time.
