The sooner you complete these steps, the quicker your policy will be issued. The length of time can also depend on what, if any, medical history records need to be ordered, and how long it takes to process the request for your medical records. Medical offices typically give themselves up to 30 days to process these requests (although some are processed quicker than that).
In a general sense, we have tried to give you the basic information and steps you need to know before applying for life insurance. However, as each application is unique, we treat them as such. While we have created an online system for purchasing life insurance, we still provide personalized service for each client.
