Who Is Eligible?

How to Apply for Aetna Guardian Life Insurance
The application process starts with an online questionnaire or a call to a licensed agent. You will need to provide:

Aetna will then assess your eligibility, possibly request a medical exam, and finalize the premium schedule. Once approved, the policy is issued and the death benefit is paid out to beneficiaries upon claim.
What to Check Before Purchasing
Before committing, review:
- Premium affordability over the chosen term.
- Policy conversion options if you anticipate needing permanent coverage later.
