Application Process
Fabric has an online application process , which makes it easier to apply. Here’s how that works:
- To begin the application process, just visit the Fabric website on your mobile device or computer. You can also download the app. Then, you’ll have to fill out the application form.
- This first step will ask you a series of basic questions, like whether you have kids younger than 18, if you have a mortgage, and if you have any debts.
- Fabric will recommend if you need life insurance or a will based on your answers.
- Next, you’ll need to answer a more detailed questionnaire that asks specific questions about your policy, your health, and your lifestyle, like where do you live, have you piloted an aircraft recently, and do you participate in extreme sports like heli-skiing. There’s a convenient progress bar at the top that tells you how much longer you’ve got to complete the application. There are a lot of health questions, so be prepared to spend several minutes on this second step.
- E-sign the application, and wait for Fabric to be in touch. This might be right away, there might be an automatic offer on the website, or you may need to wait for an underwriter to contact you.
If Fabric decides it’s necessary, you’ll be contacted for more detailed information. If a medical exam is required:
- You’ll receive a phone call or email to set up the medical exam. Fabric manages this step of the process really well, offering flexible time slots (even at odd hours of the day or night), and they’ll even send the examiner straight to your home so that you don’t have to leave the house.
- A medical professional will ask you some questions about your medical history, take your blood pressure, and may require a blood sample.
- Fabric will review your files and if you qualify, send you an offer based on your results.
Policy Types, Terms & Requirements
Fabric sells term life insurance policies that range from 10, 15, and 20-year options. You can also choose the amount of coverage you want, starting from $100,000.

In addition, Fabric term insurance policies can be converted to whole life insurance policies without having to go through another detailed application process.
Premiums range depending on a number of factors, including your age, gender, lifestyle, coverage amount, and term length. So, it’s tough to provide an estimate of how much Fabric costs.
