Overview
Haven Life offers term life insurance online to people up to age 65, with a streamlined application process that takes about 25 minutes. Customers under age 45 who qualify can buy up to $1 million in coverage that starts right away. (With many other insurers, you have to speak to an agent, complete a paper application, and often wait weeks for a decision.) Haven Life policies are issued by its parent company, MassMutual, one of the largest U.S. life insurers.

Haven Life’s application process
Haven Life says it’s able to offer such a quick turnaround by accessing data and using an algorithm and artificial intelligence to instantly evaluate applicants.
Coverage begins right away if approved. Some customers up to age 45 will not have to take a life insurance medical exam at all. Others will need one within 90 days and will get temporary coverage with a preliminary price in the meantime. When the exam results are in, the price is finalized if the customer is approved. In rare cases in which a customer is declined for coverage after the exam or doesn’t want the policy, the company gives a refund.
Some customers who are required to take a medical exam won’t be approved for temporary coverage before the exam results are in. Those customers will have to take a medical exam within 30 days of applying. Their coverage will go into effect after the exam results are considered and the application receives final approval.
