Mutual of Omaha Life Insurance Review of Underwriting Niches

Unlike some other carriers we have reviewed, Mutual of Omaha does not jump out at you for specific medical condition underwriting niches. 

However, because of ease of application process (and being well known), the carrier is wildly popular with seniors. Along those same lines, Mutual of Omaha is often among the best priced of the well known carriers.

Mutual of Omaha Life Insurance Review of Pricing

Mutual of Omaha is  competitive in some cases and appears expensive in others. However, it is important to note that even in cases where they appear expensive they could be the best deal.

You may be asking: "How can the be?"

It all comes down to the underwriting class you are given. If Mutual of Omaha  is the most expensive of the major carriers at standard rates but the more competitive carriers would grade you as table 2/B , then the "more expensive" standard rate would be the best deal. 

This situation is illustrated below by showing Mutual of Omaha  at "standard" and the others at table 2/B. The rates are for a 53 year old man who is  overweight and takes a gout medication and is seeking a 20 year term of $250K. 

So as you can see in this example , the final price has just as much to do with the underwriting decision as it does with the rates you see on quote tools.

Mutual of Omahal will always be viewed as "more expensive", but sometimes there is more to the story than meets the eye. 

Mutual of Omaha No Exam 

Term Life Express

Term Life Express or TLE is the Mutual of Omaha no exam option. This policy is available up to age 65 in 15,20 and 30 year terms. The amount of coverage is limited to $400,000 which is less than several competitors. Term Life Answers also is priced at a premium to many other no exam offerings.

On the plus side, TLE is far more lenient than the more competitive no exam options and it is underwritten the same day as application. Ultimately, you need to decide if the extra premium charge is worthwhile for your unique situation.
