What services can the Home Office help me with? [top]
We offer personal assistance in reviewing, amending or discontinuing your existing policy. We also handle your billing and bank draft payment needs. Please call us if you need a form mailed to you, or if you have questions about filling out a form. We can also discuss your policy status and make payment arrangements if needed.

All requests are generally processed within five business days. Please allow time for the mail to be received and returned as well.
Can I change my beneficiary over the phone? [top]
Beneficiary changes must be submitted in writing in order to protect your interests. Also, we recommend naming a contingent beneficiary, in addition to the primary beneficiary, to receive funds in the event that your primary beneficiary passes away before you do. If you name multiple beneficiaries, describe exactly how much of the benefit should go to each beneficiary. Remember to review your choices periodically.
Can I name a funeral home as my beneficiary? [top]
You may name a funeral home as your beneficiary, UNLESS you reside in one of the following states:
Florida | Maryland | Michigan | Montana | New Jersey | New Mexico* | Oklahoma | South Carolina | South Dakota | Tennessee | Texas | Utah | West Virginia
* New Mexico: A funeral home may be named as beneficiary only if insured and owner are the same person.
We recommend that you name the funeral home to the extent "as their interest may appear" and also name a trusted friend or family member as a contingent beneficiary.
What happens if I can't make my payment on my life insurance? [top]
Your policy has a 31-day grace period to make payments without a lapse in coverage. If your policy has been in force long enough to accumulate cash value, an Automatic Premium Loan may be available to pay past-due premiums. If your policy has lapsed, you may apply for reinstatement of your policy.
I received an offer for additional benefits From Lincoln Heritage in the mail. Can I activate it over the phone? [top]
We’re unable to activate additional benefits over the phone. We require your signature on the mailed form in order to activate these benefits. Please return the signed form to us. If it has been misplaced, please contact us and we’ll promptly send a new form to you.
Who can get information on my policy? [top]
Information is only given to the policy owner, unless they authorize another person to do so by contacting us over the phone or in writing.
Can I get a quote for additional coverage over the phone? [top]
Quotes must be given by a licensed agent. We’ll be happy to take your information and have a local agent contact you. You may submit the information yourself through our convenient online form here.
What should I do if an agent tries to get me to replace my Medicare Supplement policy? [top]
Carefully consider all of the information being presented to you. We know that price is a very important factor when it comes to Medicare Supplement Insurance. If you decide to replace your Medicare Supplement policy, please make sure to keep your current coverage in effect until your new coverage starts.
What happens if I cannot make my premium payments on my Medicare Supplement policy? [top]
