Health IQ
review
Founded in 2013, Health IQ is a customer-driven company with a mission to protect and reward consumers who enjoy living healthy lifestyles. The company offers a range of competitively priced life, disability and health insurance products designed to deliver reduced premiums to health conscious people who have lower mortality rates than the average population. As a result, Health IQ is an ideal life insurance company for people like runners, cyclists, or those who are active, healthy eaters and take care of their bodies. The company has developed partnerships with some of the strongest, most experienced insurance carriers in the country to provide customized policies to people seeking the strength and security of a well-capitalized organization to protect the financial needs of their loved ones.
About the Company
Health IQ is a customer-centric organization that is fully committed to providing health conscious and active consumers with a variety of insurance products to meet their unique needs. Since the inception of the company, Health IQ has recognized that people who work hard to maintain a healthy lifestyle should be rewarded with lower rates for insurance products.
By using scientific data and proprietary research, the company has validated that health conscience people have lower mortality rates and represent a lower risk than the average population. These findings can be passed along to policy holders in the form of lower insurance costs.
While most insurers only evaluate a customer’s current health, Health IQ evaluates their lifestyle and health literacy. A streamlined qualification process leads prospective customers to a telephonic personalized consultation with an insurance professional. Within minutes, the agent compares policies and prices to offer a customized price quote for the amount and duration of coverage requested.
Unlike many insurance brokers, Health IQ offers both term and whole life insurance. With a term policy, customers can determine how much coverage they need and select a specific period of time for their policy (e.g. 10 to 30 years). With whole life insurance, customers choose their desired coverage amount and insurance will be provided for their entire lifetime. Both types of life insurance policies provide a guaranty that premiums will never change over the course of the policy.
Health IQ recognizes that every customer has unique needs and deserves to be treated with the upmost respect as they evaluate options for life insurance. By avoiding unnecessary paperwork and leveraging customers’ health conscientiousness, the company minimizes costs and passes those savings on to their customers.
By partnering with some of the country’s strongest, most experienced insurance carriers, Health IQ is able to provide customers with the highest degree of safety and security. Since its inception, Health IQ has earned the trust and respect of thousands of customers and, since 2016, has been awarded the highest rating (A+) by the Better Business Bureau.

Final Thoughts
For many consumers, the process of buying life insurance can be intimidating and confusing. People often feel that insurers don’t recognize their unique lifestyle or commitment to good health.

Health IQ was created to address these and other challenges associated with the process of obtaining high quality, affordable life insurance.
