If none of the options work for you, you walk away having paid nothing. Most people put off looking into final expense insurance because they assume the process is complicated, expensive, or binding. It's none of those things. Here's exactly how it works. ## Step 1: Start a Free Consultation Reach out by phone or online — whichever you prefer: - **Call:** [(919) 944-8443](tel:9199448443) — speak with a licensed agent right away - **Online:** [Schedule a free consultation](https://trianglelifeandhealth.com/meetings/michael-cubell) at a time that works for you There's no pressure and no sales pitch. The first conversation is simply about understanding your situation — your age, your health, what you're looking for, and what budget makes sense. ## Step 2: Answer a Short Health Questionnaire Final expense insurance uses **simplified issue underwriting** — which means: - ❌ No medical exam - ❌ No blood work - ❌ No doctor visits - ✅ Just 8-12 yes/no health questions I walk you through each question over the phone. It takes about 5-10 minutes. Your answers help me determine which carriers are the best fit for your health profile. *Have health conditions?* That's okay. Most final expense applicants have some health history — diabetes, high blood pressure, COPD, heart conditions. Different carriers evaluate these differently, which is exactly why an independent agent matters. I know which carrier is most likely to approve you at the best rate. ## Step 3: I Shop Your Application Across Multiple Carriers This is where working with an independent agent makes all the difference. Instead of calling one company and getting one offer, **I compare your application across every carrier I represent**: - Mutual of Omaha (Living Promise) - Transamerica (Final Expense Solutions) - Aflac (Final Expense Whole Life) - Aetna (Accendo (Final Expense)) - Gerber Life (Guaranteed Life) Each carrier has different pricing, different health criteria, and different sweet spots. One might decline you while another offers you their best rate. I find the best fit. ## Step 4: Review Your Options Within 24-48 hours, I present you with your options — clear, simple, and side by side: - Which carriers approved you - Monthly premium for each coverage amount ($10K, $15K, $20K, $25K) - Any waiting periods or graded benefits - Pros and cons of each option **You see real numbers.** Not estimates. Not "starting at" prices. Your actual monthly premium based on your actual health profile. ### ✅ Your Application Costs Nothing Here's what most people don't realize: **submitting a final expense insurance application is completely free.** There's no cost, no obligation, and no commitment. The application simply unlocks what carriers will actually offer you — *real numbers, real coverage options, based on your specific situation.* You see exactly what you qualify for before making any decision. Think of it this way: the application isn't a purchase. It's a **discovery tool** that shows you what's available. You don't pay a dime until you decide a policy is right for you. **[→ Start your free application today](https://trianglelifeandhealth.com/meetings/michael-cubell)** — a licensed agent handles everything, and you'll have real quotes in hand within 24-48 hours. ## Step 5: You Decide — No Pressure, No Obligation If one of the options works for you, we move forward with that carrier. If none of them feel right, you've spent nothing and you're under no obligation. It's that simple. And even after you accept a policy, Maryland gives you a **free-look period** (typically 30 days) where you can cancel for a complete refund. There is truly zero risk in seeing what's available. ## Why Most People Wait Too Long Here's the reality most people don't want to hear: **final expense insurance premiums are based on your age and health at the time you apply.** Every year you wait, your rate goes up. And if your health changes — a new diagnosis, a hospitalization, a medication change — your options narrow. The best time to apply is always *now*, while you're healthy enough to qualify for the best rates. And since applying is free, there's literally no downside to seeing what's available today.
