How Health IQ works

Health IQ is not an insurance carrier, rather it is a broker that through an online form can match you with personalized quotes from top carriers in the country.

The form itself can be completed in under 2 minutes and will be followed by a health literacy quiz. The quiz is part of Health IQ’s goal to reward healthy individuals with lower life insurance rates. The quiz can take up to 30 minutes if you take the entire time available but is more likely to take between 10 and 15 minutes.

Before you can receive personalized quotes, you’ll have to speak to a member of the Healthy IQ team. Waiting for a call can take between 24 to 48 hours.

Eligibility requirements

To be eligible for life insurance through Health IQ, you must be over 21 years old and be a resident of the United States. Depending on the carrier you are matched with, a blood test or health records may be required.
