This is a new one on me... just ran across Starmount Life, Baton Rouge, La. this week. They appear to have two products: Term to 95 and Modified WL which amounts to 5yr banded term rates for the first 10 yrs, with 2 increases scheduled, then it converts to WL to age 120 guaranteed prem.
The Term to 95 is a group term product which the rates can change if everyone in the group's rates are changed. The Modified product I am not certain about as their info is not clear and they do not publish the rates of the proposed 5 and 10 yr inceases on the Mod WL product either. Of course the person who is in the middle of attempting to obtain coverage has no idea what they are getting except "Laf in-Surce". Enough doubt has been cast here that they will be getting "Laf in-Surce" elsewhere - from me.
The company is rate B++ (Good), has apparently been upgraded according to AM Best and has previously been largely in the dental business in MS & La. (seems like an oxymoron - dental ins in MS & La... forgive me is your from either state). Any of you grizzled Vets run into this company before and have any specific info to add that would be helpful in discussing this company with a client...?
