Different lines of insurance are tested separately, therefore the passing of the Life & Health Insurance exam will only allow an agent to offer and sell life and health insurance related products. 
A life and health insurance license will typically allow an agent to offer and sell the following products to their clients:
  • Term life insurance
  • Whole life insurance (except variable life policies)
  • Universal life insurance
  • Individual and group health insurance
  • Sickness and accident policies
  • Disability insurance
  • Long-term care insurance (certain states may require additional education and testing)
  • Medicare Supplement insurance
  • Fixed annuities
