Declined by every carrier? Michigan residents can still get guaranteed acceptance life insurance — no health questions, no medical exam, and no turn-downs for health reasons.
A one-minute look at no-health-question coverage and the two-year waiting period.
For Michigan residents who have been turned down for life insurance, guaranteed issue coverage offers a simple, health-question-free way to protect your family from final expenses. It is built for situations where traditional and simplified-issue underwriting simply will not approve you.
This page covers how guaranteed issue plans work for Michigan residents, the 2-year clause, your rights as a Michigan policyholder, and how to tell whether you might qualify for something better first. For the full overview, see our main guaranteed issue life insurance guide.
No exam, no medical records, no prescription check. Approval is based on age and Michigan residency.
Commonly about $2,000 to $25,000, depending on the carrier and your age.
Usually around ages 50 to 80; some carriers go younger or older.
Whole life coverage with level premiums for life; the benefit never decreases.
If death is from illness, your beneficiary receives 100% of premiums paid plus interest — commonly around 10%. Accidental death is usually paid in full from day one.
The full face amount is paid for death from any cause, for life, with the same premium.
We help Michiganders in metro Detroit, Grand Rapids, Lansing, Ann Arbor, Flint, Kalamazoo and northern Michigan. Most clients complete the entire process by phone, with no exam and no in-person appointment.
Michigan life insurance policies include a free-look period after delivery during which you can return the policy and receive a refund of premiums. The exact period is printed on the policy.
Questions about an insurer or agent licensed in Michigan can be directed to the Michigan Department of Insurance and Financial Services (DIFS).

Yes. Guaranteed issue plans do not ask about strokes, heart attacks or any other condition. The graded period means deaths from illness in the first two years return premiums plus interest, and the full benefit applies after that.
Usually, yes. Depending on how recent your condition is, a simplified-issue or graded plan with a shorter wait may be possible at a lower price. We check those first.
In most cases, yes. Many people who think they are uninsurable qualify for simplified-issue coverage with no waiting period and a lower price. We check that first and only recommend guaranteed issue when it is truly the best fit.
