Who Haven Life is right for
Haven Life is best online experience because its fully online application, MassMutual-issued policies and frequent instant decisions make it the smoothest way to buy for people who want an answer today and will not need to convert.
No-exam underwriting
Haven Simple: fully no-exam up to $1M for ages 20-55. Above that threshold, or if your health history raises a flag, expect a paramedical exam. No-exam approval is a convenience, not a discount; a fully underwritten policy from the same carrier is usually cheaper for a healthy applicant.
Riders and options
Available riders include accelerated death benefit, waiver of premium (select states). Availability and cost vary by state.
