Freedom Life Insurance Company Rates

Are Freedom Life Insurance rates competitive?

Hard to say...but not likely.

Probably not the answer you were looking for, I know. It is however, the truth. 

Because  Freedom Life Insurance Company does not make it easy for the public to access rate information, it is difficult to make apples to apples comparisons.  

However, it has been our experience that companies that offer a thin product line and that are not conveniently transparent with pricing, are seldom the price leaders. 

Term insurance sold as a guaranteed issue product fits only a very small niche of clients who are experiencing serious health issues and need some insurance now.

 For clients in all but the most dire health issues,  it is worth shopping. With few exceptions, the best priced carriers are willing and, in fact, eager to be compared with other carriers. 

 Examples of "price busters" are Banner Life and Protective Life.

Carriers that may cost more but are more lenient in underwriting are Prudential and Mutual of Omaha.

Cases Where Freedom Life Insurance Company Is Not A Great Choice

To be perfectly frank, it's hard to find a situation where Freedom Life Insurance would be a great fit. The convenience factor of a guaranteed issue product not needing a medical exam is available with more transparently available carriers.  

If you have a specific condition, you are best off speaking with an independent agent to find out which carrier will give you the best chance to get approved at a great rate.  

After all, different carriers have differing risk appetites for YOUR condition.

That being said, if you are using Freedom Life Insurance for other financial services, like group health care, and you find that the convenience is important to you, it may make sense to keep it all in one place.

Freedom Life Insurance Suicide Exclusions

The 2 year suicide clause that is part of all life insurance policies in the United States, is the same. (Note that some states use a 1 year exclusion)  

Freedom Life Insurance Customer Service

Additionally, while Freedom life Insurance is not rated by JD Power & Assoc., it's  has a BBB rating of A+.

The Freedom Life Insurance Review Final Verdict

Is Freedom Life Insurance right for you? It really all depends on your situation.

If you are looking for more than a 10 year renewable term policy (with a waiting period), the Freedom is not the carrier for you.

If you have notable health impairment(s), you will likely be better suited by shopping around on the open market where it is convenient to make apples to apple comparisons. 

Moreover, having the use of an independent expert who can send your application to a carrier that is likely to view you in the best possible light has value that Freedom Life Insurance can't offer.

However, if you happy with other services being being provided by Freedom Life , it may be convenient to keep things "in house".  

Thank you for choosing Bequest Mutual to shop for life insurance.
