You're not alone if the thought of a medical exam in your home feels like a hassle and it's kept you from applying for life and disability insurance. Due to Covid-19 safety precautions, medical exams for life insurance have been temporarily suspended.

You can apply over the phone or through a virtual meeting with your Lawyers Financial Advisor.
