What to know about life insurance in Washington

Washington runs its own marketplace, Washington Healthplanfinder, and has expanded Medicaid through Apple Health. Washington offers Cascade Care standardized plans, including public-option plans, on the marketplace. Washington also lets people who already have a Medigap plan switch at any time of year without a health questionnaire as long as they stay within the same group: Plan A to another Plan A, or any Plan B through N to another Plan B through N.

Life insurance is regulated by the Washington Department of Insurance, and every agent selling it must hold a Washington life license. Pricing varies widely between carriers for the same person, which is why an independent agent who quotes several carriers is worth a call before you buy.

Life Insurance Agents in Washington: common questions

Is a life insurance agent free to work with?

Yes. Life insurance agents are paid a commission by the carrier that issues your policy. Your premium is the same whether you buy through an agent or directly.

What is final expense insurance?

A small whole life policy, usually between a few thousand and thirty thousand dollars, designed to cover funeral costs and small debts. It is popular with people over 50 because approval is simplified and the premium never changes.

Term or whole life: which do I need?

Term life covers a set number of years for a low premium and suits income replacement while you have a mortgage or young children. Whole life lasts your entire life and builds cash value at a higher premium. An independent agent can quote both across several carriers.

Can I buy life insurance if I have health conditions?

Often, yes. Carriers price conditions differently, which is exactly why an independent agent who works with several carriers can matter. Some policies use simplified or guaranteed underwriting with no medical exam.
