How does a no-exam life insurance policy compare to a fully underwritten one?
Answered by 2 licensed agents
A fully underwritten policy that requires an exam and bloodwork can take several days to several weeks for approval. Human underwriting can clarify usage of medications, (other than the typical reasons), or other health conditions that may now, no longer be a concern. Where no-exam may group conditions, regardless of individual circumstance.

Fully underwritten = slower, more invasive, cheaper, higher face amounts.
