Is It Safe to Buy Term Insurance Without a Medical Test?
Sujith, a 36-year-old marketing professional, finally decided to buy a term insurance plan to secure his family (wife, two children, and elderly parents). Between frequent work travels and job pressure, he had limited time to research a term insurance policy. While he scrolls through various term insurance plans online, a specific one named ‘instant term insurance plan with no medicals’ caught his attention. Sujith bought it immediately as instant approval, quick issuance and nominal paperwork offered by the policy looked promising for him.
However, a year later, he was diagnosed with diabetes and hypertension when he underwent a full-body check-up at his office in a yearly health camp. He had no idea how long he had been having these medical conditions undiagnosed. He was then worried if his insurance company would honour his claim or not, if something happened. As many insurance companies are offering no medical term insurance plans, the question arises – is it just a convenient choice or a safe choice, too? Let us explore.
