First, save time and connect with an independent agent that specializes in life insurance
One fact you need to understand is all life insurance rates are regulated by law. In plain terms this means nobody can sell the same insurers product for more or less than another. Consumers normally shop for life insurance products like they were televisions sets or kitchen appliances. It does not work this way for your protection. In fact, all forms of insurance are regulated by law for your protection compliments of the government.
Regardless of who you purchase the insurance from, your rates will always be exactly the same! No matter who the agent or agency is or where they are located. If you purchase your life insurance form an agent in any one of our 50 states or buy it direct from a carrier, the premium will always be exactly the same.
Here is how the best life insurance rates are first created
The life insurance company actuaries who are highly trained develop the rates based on statistics. This revolves around the life expectancy of people of all ages groups. They have to take factors like current health conditions carefully into consideration. They also have to pay attention to many of the most hazardous occupations or dangerous sports. Anything that could be a factor in taking ones life, they have to consider. The life insurance actuaries are where it all begins.
Each states Department of Insurance makes sure all rates are regulated
After the life insurance actuaries create the rates, the insurance carrier publishes the rates for review. The next step will be with each states Department of Insurance that the company does business in. Before the rates can be made visible to consumers. The Department of Insurance in each state has to approve and authorize the rates to be released. This can take months to accomplish but it is the law. Once a states Department of Insurance approves the rates, the agents will receive them and the quoting process may begin. The best ones for this job are the independent insurance agents.
So how does an independent agent find the best life insurance rates?
Independent agents can shop the whole life insurance market and find out what company will offer you the best life insurance rates. This is unlike a captive agents such as State Farm, Allstate and Farmers just to name a few. The captive agents only can show you their one and only company which is normally not competitive.
The independent agents will work hard to do the research it takes to find the best life insurance rates. They will also run medical pre-screens to help them pinpoint the best life insurance company for you. They will also communicate with the insurance company underwriters to help allow you to receive the best health classification you can qualify for.
