For some reason I did not realize how liberal EL&C (albeit high) standard rate was. The answer to any or all 4 of these questions can be yes and they still qualify for immediate coverage at the standard rate. For example, I wrote a lady that had had an amputation due to diabetes within the prior 6 months.. Put it with Settlers on the Bronze plan. I could have gotten her an immediate benefit with Equitable for about $6.00 less per month.

1. In the past 2 years, have you ever been diagnosed, been told you have, treated or prescribed medication by a member of the medical profession for Parkinson's disease, cirrhosis of the liver, chronic hepatitis or any other liver disease or disorder?

2. In the past 3 years, have you been diagnosed, been told you have, treated or prescribed medication by a member of the medical profession for complications of diabetes including amputation, eye or kidney problems, insulin shock or diabetic coma?

3. In the past 2 years, have you been diagnosed, been told you have, treated or prescribed medication by a member of the medical profession for heart bypass, angioplasty (balloon procedure), stent placement, heart valve disorder, heart attack, angina (chest pain) or coronary artery disease?

4. In the past 2 years, have you been diagnosed, been told you have, treated or prescribed medication by a member of the medical profession for emphysema, chronic bronchitis that is not seasonal or any other chronic respiratory condition or lung problem, excluding allergies or asthma?

One correction is if they have both diabetes and heart issue they can't get standard.

I agree though. Equitable is a hidden gem.

I recently started writing their hospital plan for people on MA and Obama care.
Super easy sell and decent comp.

But they do that stupid phone app like RNA does. Otherwise submit with no interview and they call them later:no:

Yeah.. Diabetes and kidney problems are also a KO.. They amde a misstatement in the webinar today.

If you do a paper app, they do not make a phone call to the client unless something shows up on the RX or MIB that is not on the app. However, if you do the phone app, it is a true know before you go.. They issue the policy and give you the policy number before you get off the phone. You can also do the phone app on a three way phone call so you don't have to see the insured.

I know all that....but everything I write I know before I go anyway, without a 25 minute phi, how long does equitable take.
 
I specialize in dealing with liars.

I see what you did there. But not when it takes 30 mins for a phi. How long dies the phi take with equitable.
The last one I did about 20 minutes.. Most agents take about 10 minutes to fill out an app so it is not that much longer than doing a paper app. The Med Supp phone app takes about 30 minutes.
