Life Insurance & Medicals query

Does anyone know what the limit for life insurance is without having to have a medical?

We're 46 & 48, tried to get 200k policy but they want a medical. We both work long hours, away from home often overnight & subject to change at last minute so trying to arrange this is a nightmare (& no leave left till Aug!!!!) TBH would prefer to take out say 2 100k policies even if a little dearer to save teh hassle of trying to arrange/cancel appts.

Thanks folks. x

    It varies with different insurers and how you answer the questions.

    Most insurers have a question that covers multiple applications being made and the sum assureds.
