Common reasons: diabetes, heart disease, cancer history, obesity, mental health conditions, DUI, hazardous occupation, or tobacco use. But a decline from one carrier doesn't mean no coverage. Different carriers have different underwriting guidelines — what's a decline at Company A might be standard at Company B. June shops across 7 carriers to find your best option.
Table ratings (A through H) are premium surcharges for applicants who don't qualify for standard rates. Table A = 25% above standard, Table H = 200% above standard. Each table adds approximately 25%. This sounds expensive, but table-rated coverage is still real coverage — and it's infinitely better than no coverage. Many conditions that were Table D five years ago are now Standard.
Guaranteed issue means exactly what it sounds like — you cannot be declined. No health questions, no medical exam, no blood work. The tradeoff: coverage amounts are lower ($5K-$50K typically) and there's usually a 2-3 year graded benefit period. After the waiting period, full death benefit applies. For people who've been declined everywhere else, this is the safety net.
Coverage available for Green Card holders and select visa types (E-1, E-2, H-1B, L-1, and their dependents). Requirements: valid immigration docs, 12+ months US residency, $20K+ annual income from US sources. Some carriers also accept ITIN candidates. Living benefit riders (chronic/critical illness) available to permanent residents. June navigates the immigration + insurance intersection.
Tobacco users pay higher premiums but are absolutely insurable. Most carriers have separate tobacco rate classes. Cannabis: Foresters and some carriers treat occasional marijuana use as non-tobacco if no other tobacco products are used. Substance abuse history: Generally requires 3-5 years clean with no treatment. Each carrier evaluates differently — June knows which ones are most lenient.
FL law prohibits unfair discrimination in life insurance underwriting — decisions must be based on actuarial data, not arbitrary factors. All policies include a 10-day free look period. Guaranteed issue policies cannot impose pre-existing condition exclusions beyond the graded benefit period stated in the policy. June advocates for your right to coverage under FL insurance regulations.
