Key Features

Industry-Leading No-Exam Coverage

Applicants aged 20–60 may qualify for up to $4 million in coverage without a lab exam through Banner's digital accelerated underwriting — the highest no-exam threshold in the industry, with potential for same-day approval.

Lenient on Controlled Conditions

Well-managed high blood pressure, high cholesterol, mild asthma, or a history of treated depression? You may still qualify for Preferred Plus rates. Banner's underwriting guidelines are among the most forgiving for minor, controlled health conditions.

Competitive Substandard Pricing

For applicants who don't qualify for top health classes, Banner's rated pricing is among the most competitive in the market — making it a strong choice even for imperfect health.

Best For

High-income earners needing $1M+ in coverage, and applicants with minor health conditions who want the best possible rate.
