Products of Aetna/American Continental Life Insurance Company

Signature Term - No Med

This product is one of our most popular no medical exam products.

The medical exam requirement is waived for coverage amounts under $250,000. The maximum coverage amount is dependent on your age.

Living benefits are included free of charge and are the most comprehensive living benefits offered.
Terminal, chronic and critical illness riders allow you to withdraw the death benefit if you are disabled, have a major medical problem, or are diagnosed with less than 24 months to live.

This is a great product for those that have some medical conditions.

The application takes 30 minutes over the phone and digital signature is required to submit. 

Signature Term

Signature Term product is a great product that offers “living benefits” — benefits you can use while still alive.

The product is competitively priced, and the underwriters at American National do an amazing job of offering insurance to people with a medical history.

The application is thorough and takes about 30 minutes to complete. The company may request medical records from your physicians in order to make a decision.

Signature Simplified Issue Term

This is our go-to product in many scenarios. It includes free living benefit riders which make the product not only a life insurance policy, but also a disability or long term care policy. The benefits are not as comprehensive as stand only disability or long term care policies, though it is a valuable add-on that normally carries a large price.

This product often offers the best price after considering the health conditions of applicants.

The application takes 25 minutes to complete over the phone.

Signature Guaranteed UL

Signature Guaranteed UL can insure you to age 95 to 121, with a guaranteed death benefit. The application only takes about 25 minutes over the phone, and the service is exceptional.

This product comes with Critical and Chronic Illness riders, free of charge.
