Understanding AIG's No‑Medical‑Check Life Insurance Options

What is AIG's no‑medical‑check life insurance?

AIG offers life‑insurance policies that can be issued without a full medical exam, relying instead on a health questionnaire and limited underwriting. These plans are designed for applicants who want quick approval, have mild health concerns, or prefer to avoid a doctor's visit.

Who typically qualifies?

Eligibility depends on age, health status, and desired coverage amount. Generally, applicants under 65 with no serious chronic conditions—such as uncontrolled diabetes, recent heart attacks, or active cancer—are considered good candidates. AIG may still request basic lab results or a brief phone interview to verify the questionnaire responses.

Coverage limits and pricing considerations

Without a medical exam, the maximum face amount is usually lower than fully underwritten policies. AIG often caps no‑exam coverage at $100,000–$250,000, though exact limits vary by state and applicant profile. Premiums reflect the reduced underwriting risk but can be higher per dollar of coverage compared with traditional policies.

How to apply and what to check

Start by visiting AIG's official website or an authorized broker. Review the policy's:

• Eligibility age range
• Maximum face amount for no‑exam options
• Health questionnaire requirements
• Any optional riders (e.g., accelerated death benefit)

Confirm whether the quote includes a "simplified issue" label, which indicates no‑exam underwriting. Also verify the insurer's financial strength (e.g., A.M. Best rating) and read the policy's exclusion list to understand what conditions might affect claim payout.
