Americo Senior Life Customer Experience

Customer Experience - 4.8 / 5

Americo Senior Life provides several ways to get a quote on a final expense insurance policy. You can call the company directly, fill out an online form, or use the website's chat feature. When we entered the system, the online form submittal process halted midway through and we couldn't get it started again. So we turned to the online chat feature and were met by a live, friendly, representative who was able to answer specific questions and provide a quote. The process took less than five minutes. We were given an estimated range and told that the exact rate would depend on the medical underwriting process. We appreciated that transparency and the non-pushy demeanor of the representative we spoke with. It was a pleasant experience, but we hope that Americo Senior Life will get its online bugs worked out soon.
