The premium rates are typically higher than most fully underwritten products of a similar nature, but with clients that may not qualify standard or better with full underwriting, these simplified issue plans are a great option to consider. There is little to no underwriting, which generally means your client s coverage will go into effect quickly and you will get paid your commission more quickly as well. Average turnaround time on simplified issue life insurance is 5-7 business days. Average turnaround on fully underwritten life insurance applications is 4-6 weeks. Simplified issue and guaranteed issue life insurance is a great way to avoid the hassles of dealing with fully underwritten life insurance, and to maximize your life insurance selling.
