Although the maximum benefits is $500,000, applicants who want more than $100,000 in coverage must undergo underwriting, American General says.

The policy pays full benefits through age 70. After 70, it can pay benefits for loss of independent living.

One benefit that should appeal to consumers who plan to stay healthy is a preventive care benefit that can pay for health screening tests, according to American General.
