Life Enrichment Program
Historically, the life insurance industry has sought to insure individuals that meet certain height and weight criteria, work in safe occupations, and have a good medical history. Today, more and more U.S. citizens do not fall into this group and may have difficulty obtaining coverage due to a current or past health condition, such as weight, diabetes, or blood pressure.
The good news is insurance carriers now have plans for those who have been declined coverage or have health considerations that make it difficult to obtain coverage. The Life Enrichment Program is designed to help address individual health concerns with individual term life or whole life insurance policies.
