Frequently Asked Questions About Life Insurance

Direct Life provides coverage for low risk and high risk individuals of all ages.

1. How much life insurance do I need?
As a rule of thumb, experts recommend multiplying your annual income by a specific factor to determine the amount of life insurance coverage your dependents need. This multple varies and we can work with you to determine the right level of coverage.. Replacing income, paying off mortgages, other debt, and estate planning are just a few ways to calculate your needs. As part of our service, we can provide a much more accurate and personalized needs analysis for you, over the phone. We also encourage you to try our life insurance needs calculator. If you have any questions call us at 800-719-0374.

2. How is Direct Life different from traditional ways of buying life insurance?
First, we are independent and selective. We are not owned, employed, or controlled by any insurance company so the information we provide is unbiased. In the past, life insurance was generally purchased through a captive agent of a particular insurance company. In order to compare more than a few companies, the consumer had to meet with several agents, and listen to sometimes lengthy, confusing, high-pressure sales presentations.
At Direct Life, we provide the information you need to make a well-informed choice among dozens of products available. And, all of this is done in a matter of minutes, right over the phone.

3. What criteria is used when selecting the right life insurance company?
There are a variety of criteria we use to evaluate the financial strength, performance, and integrity of life insurance companies. We only monitor the rates from insurance companies with a proven track record of financial strength, integrity, performance, and claims-paying ability. And, before quoting any company, we require that it have a rating of A, A+, or A++ by A. M. Best. One of the country's recognized insurance company rating organizations.
We will provide you with a financial profile of your chosen company, which includes the ratings and history from each company based on the criteria above. Other third-party services providers, which measure insurance companies' financial strength, claims-paying ability, and other financial categories, include:
  • Standard & Poor's
  • Moody's
  • Fitch
  • Weiss
4. Why have term life insurance rates dropped significantly in the past few years?
First, you're right. Many carriers' term rates have never been lower. In fact, rates have fallen approximately 50% since 1995! That's a big drop, and a big savings.

Part of the reason for this is that life insurance companies will obtain more detailed information about you before they accept you at their lowest rates. In the past, exams and blood tests were only performed for older individuals or those seeking larger coverage amounts.

The age of computers and the Internet has also impacted rates by making the path-to-market for new plans and rates faster than ever. The moment a new plan is introduced, the whole world can know about it almost immediately. Years ago, it would take months or years for agents to find out about new products. As a result of the quick dissemination of information, competitive products and rates are available faster than in the past.

Advances in medical care have also made it possible for people to live longer than ever before. This means that life insurance companies don't have to pay the death benefits as soon, so they can pass the savings on to consumers through lower rates. Rates are so low right now that if you own term life insurance, you should compare your existing policy's rates, features, and guarantees to those currently available. Even if you bought your policy as recently as one year ago, it's very likely that, if you're still healthy, you could find a new policy that will provide:
  • the same death benefit at a lower cost, or
  • the same death benefit at the same cost, but with a longer guaranteed rate, or
  • a higher death benefit, at a lower cost, or
  • a higher death benefit, at a lower cost, with a longer rate guarantee!

5. Can I qualify for life insurance if my health is poor?
If your health is poor, or you have been charged extra premiums or have even been declined for life insurance and told your case "was too difficult to place," you've come to the right place. Why? Many people in this category simply assume that coverage is either not available for them, or that it will cost too much.

The truth is unless your agent understands the underwriting process for such specialized cases, the odds are against you finding the right offer. Agents may not have the time to spend in order to find the best offer for an impaired-risk case because it takes a lot of extra work. Most "quote services" focus their attention on quoting only the clean (perfectly healthy) cases. Unfortunately, the insurance companies with the best rates for healthy applicants are unlikely to be the companies you should be considering if you have health problems.

We have the experience to know which companies specialize in certain health impairments. Some clients may be offered "standard" rates by one company, yet extremely high "substandard" premiums from another. We know which companies are most likely to make you a reasonable offer. We can "shop" your condition with several of these companies in order to find the best offer.
