Company Review

Gerber Life’s review

Foresters Financial’s review

Now as you can see…

Both Gerber and Foresters are both very strong and stable insurance companies, which is why you probably can’t go wrong choosing either assuming that you would be able to qualify for the same “rate” with each.

However, Gerber focuses more on guaranteed issue insurance versus Foresters, which focuses more on final expense insurance that requires some answers to health questions.

Which is why, you may want to give us a call here at I&E before you decide to apply for coverage, because while both Gerber and Foresters are both outstanding insurance companies, each of them are going to have their own unique underwriting guidelines which will determine who they will and won’t insure.

These guidelines are…

Also going to play a major role in determining what “price” you may pay for your insurance.  So, while each of these companies may be the right choice for many, it’s quite possible based on your unique situation that one or both of these companies may not be “right” for you!

The good news is…

That we here at I&E work with dozens of different life insurance companies so that when it comes time to determine which company is going to be the best for you, we don’t have to rely on just one or two different options.

Options such as traditional term life insurance policies as well as no medical exam life insurance policies as well.
