What is the difference between whole life and term life insurance?

Whole life insurance offers permanent, lifetime coverage. Your premiums do not increase over time and your coverage begins to build cash value after the first year.

Term life insurance is straightforward protection that covers you for a set period of time which is the term however Colonial Penn no longer offers a term life insurance plan.

Will I need a medical exam to qualify?

No! Unlike some policies, no medical exam is required for this coverage. Your answers to health questions on the application will help determine your eligibility. An underwriter may contact you by phone for more information.
