Key Features

Extreme Sports Friendly

Skydiving, rock climbing, motorsports — most carriers decline or surcharge heavily. Nationwide's underwriting is among the most tolerant in the industry: experienced participants in many extreme activities still qualify for Preferred rates.

All Three Living Benefits Included

Free built-in coverage for critical illness (cancer, heart attack, major organ transplant), chronic illness (severe cognitive impairment or inability to perform 2 of 6 ADLs with annual lump-sum requests), and terminal illness — the most comprehensive living benefit package available.

Wellness Credits — Automatic Health Upgrade

Nationwide's Intelligent Underwriting system automatically evaluates healthy lifestyle habits and may improve your underwriting class by up to two levels — resulting in lower premiums than your application alone would suggest.

Best For

Thrill-seekers and extreme sports enthusiasts, and clients who want the strongest possible living benefit package built in at no extra cost.
