Adjust Coverage Whenever: You can obtain, cancel, increase, and decrease a Wysh Life and Health Insurance Company plan within the Wyshbox app environment. Additional underwriting may be required.

If you die, your loved ones can get paid in days not weeks: To make a claim, we always need a completed claims form and a death certificate. Once we get these, our customer service team will verify all documents and work with the beneficiary to honor the deceased's Wyshes. We'll always try to work through these claims as quickly as possible; we aim to resolve claims within days of confirmation of the death. However, mitigating factors, including delays in receiving third-party verification and further investigation requirements of the death, may prevent us from doing this.

General

No doctors, no needles: Currently, we don't ask you to take a medical exam to complete your application. However, we'll use the digital medical info we pull (authorized by you) to determine whether we can offer coverage.

100% digital/100% online: At Wysh Life and Health Insurance Company, we automate the underwriting process, application, and issuance of life insurance memberships through our product, the Wyshbox app contingent on not opt-ing out of e-delivery and qualifying for fully digital underwriting. Users have the option to engage with our customer service through a live chat via our website, email, and telephone number—however, this is not a requirement.

Instant Coverage: Instant Coverage means you can get covered under Wyshbox within minutes of confirming underwriting and signing your plan documents digitally and qualifying for fully digital underwriting. This is not a guarantee that you'll get a plan, and it does not mean that you can get coverage without underwriting. Wysh Life and Health Insurance Company requires underwriting and verification of user data for all individual term life coverage.

Wyshes: Wyshes are a feature of the Wyshbox app/website. Wyshes are a way for members to plan their life insurance needs and communicate to their beneficiaries how they'd like their life insurance spent. While the beneficiary is under no legal obligation to honor the Wyshes, if the beneficiary agrees to honor them, Wysh Life and Health Insurance Company customer service representatives will attempt to fulfill the Wyshes to the best of their abilities and in accordance with known laws and limitations.

Membership: Membership is a term we use to describe Wysh Life and Health Insurance Company policy holders and Wyshbox app users. We use this term because the experience we offer is ongoing, allowing customers to adjust coverage and modify Wyshes.
