Factors contributing to the overall rating

Policy application

5

Haven Life makes it easy to apply for life insurance online. Haven Term usually requires a medical exam when applying for coverage. Haven Simple does not require an exam to apply. The Haven Life applications evaluate your medical information and personal data you provide during the application process to determine whether or not you are eligible for coverage. 

If approved, Haven Life will allow you to choose your coverage amount and policy length and then your premium will be shared with you online. From here, you are able to pay online for the remainder of your term.
