Frequently Asked Questions


  • I don't have time to meet you in person. Can I just complete this process through email and/or phone correspondence?

    Typically the answer is a resounding “YES!” Most insurance carriers don’t require a face-to-face interview anymore. However, this will typically add an extra step of your having to “confirm” your “signature” with additional email/s directly from the carrier being applied to. Usually, carriers expect a response to their email, ie. your “electronic signature,” within 12-24 hours or the application is voided.

  • How long will this process take before I am covered?

    Usually, depending on the type of policy being applied for, it can take as little as one week, to as much as six weeks depending on how much underwriting needs to be done.

  • I know I need life insurance, but I don't really know what kind would work best for me and I really don't know how much I need. Can you help me with that?

    Yes, that’s why i7 Insurance exists…to take the right angle to solve real life needs. Based on a variety of factors, such as your age, overall health, any mitigating recent health episodes, present age of your children, retirement goals, amount owed on your mortgage, etc., I can find a solution that will fit in your budget and offer you and your family the protection and peace of mind you need!

  • Can you help me determine if I would be better off with a Medicare Supplement and Drug Plan, or if it would be to my benefit to be in one of those Medicare Advantage Plans?

    Absolutely! Wading through all of the various Medicare options available to you each year can be a daunting task. At i7 Insurance, I will take the time to help you understand completely what your benefits are with each of the various plans available to you. Needs change from year to year, AND plans change from year to year, so it’s important that you have an agent who will walk with you every step of the way.

  • If I have to get any underwriting done and have one of those "parameds," will it cost me anything? And does that obligate me to have to accept the insurance if after the paramed the insurance would become too expensive for me?

    You will not be charged for the paramed, and you are under no obligation to purchase the insurance if you have a paramed done. It usually takes about 10-15 minutes, and the nurse will come to your house or your work–whatever is the most convenient place for you. The paramed will also be scheduled at a convenient time for you. Please note: If the insurance carrier does require that you have a paramed done, this could actually be a “life-saver” for you. One client of i7 Insurance found out he had some significant heart issues because he had the paramed done and was able then to consult a cardiologist before experiencing a life-threatening event. While this meant having to wait on getting life insurance, the trade off for him was certainly worth it, and he can reapply for life insurance after a year.

  • I don't qualify for assistance with a Marketplace Plan (Affordable Care Act/Obamacare) but I am worried that one of these new "Short-term" Health Plans is not considered "major medical." Help me understand why I should get a Short-term Health Plan.

    There are many reasons to consider a Short-term Health Plan, as they are continuing to improve their benefits and coverages. One of the most significant reasons to choose a Short-term Health Plan is that they aren’t so short anymore. Many carriers are offering “3-year Short-term Health Plans” now. In addition, if you are young and only need basic coverage, or in great health, you will probably overpay in the Marketplace compared to a Short-term Health Plan. Other reasons to get a Short-term Health Plan include being outside of the yearly window of opportunity to enroll in a Marketplace Plan, wanting more choices because most Short-term Health Plans let you pick-and-choose the coverages you want/need or you qualify for catastrophic coverage (which is not sold on the Marketplace). If you have further questions about a Short-term Health Plan, contact i7 Insurance and I’ll be glad to point you in the right direction.
