Inside your Michigan Life & Health course
Work through the online course at your own pace. Use the lessons and practice to decide what to review next.
1. Definitions
Build the insurance vocabulary first. Keep a short review list so unfamiliar terms do not distract you from the coverage or benefit being tested.
2. Health Plans
Connect health coverage, benefits and cost-sharing concepts to the situations in your lessons. Review the explanation behind an answer before trying another question.
3. Life & Annuity
Connect policy roles, life insurance benefits and annuity concepts. Identify what the question is asking before comparing the answer choices.
4. State Regulation
Study the Michigan material alongside the general insurance concepts. Keep a separate list of state-specific topics to revisit during practice review.
Try two course study examples
Choose an answer before opening the explanation. These original examples demonstrate insurance concepts; they are not state examination questions.
Separate the policy roles
Morgan owns a life insurance policy covering Alex, and Casey is the beneficiary. Who is named to receive the death benefit?
Show answer and reasoning 1
Casey, the beneficiary. Morgan is the policyowner and Alex is the insured. Identify which role the question asks about before choosing an answer.
Apply the deductible before coinsurance
Assume $5,000 of covered, allowed health expenses, a $1,000 deductible still to be met, and an insurer that pays 80% afterward. No other cost-sharing or limit applies. What is the insurer’s share?
Show answer and reasoning 2
$5,000 − $1,000 = $4,000; 80% of $4,000 = $3,200. The member pays $1,800 in this example: the deductible plus $800 of coinsurance.
Examples use simplified assumptions. Actual policy terms and loss facts determine real coverage and payments.
Turn practice into a review plan
After working through the topics, use your course’s Practice Tests (Unlimited) section to identify weak areas. Return to the relevant lesson and explain why the answer fits. Follow the instructions in Final Exams and any other completion steps shown in your course.
Reinforce your review with the course reference and printable study cards available in your course.

Michigan Life and Accident & Health prelicensing path
This product provides 70 days of access to two Michigan-approved online self-study paths under provider 1166: Life course 96580 for 20 hours and Accident & Health course 96581 for 20 hours. The split courses were approved effective May 13, 2026.
Combined-route rule: complete both approved paths for 40 total hours and obtain both line-specific completion certificates before combined exam 16-80. This product is not one separately approved 40-hour combined course.
1. File the NIPR application
DIFS currently puts the electronic NIPR application first. The state fee is $10 and DIFS currently states a $5 NIPR transaction fee. The application is valid for 180 days.
2. Complete the matching approved path
Complete Life 96580, Accident & Health 96581, or both for the combined route. Each line-specific certificate is valid for 12 months, and TSI reports qualifying completion electronically to DIFS.
3. Choose the matching PSI examination
Life 16-65 is 2 hours / 100 scored items / 72%. Accident & Health 16-66 is 2 hours / 100 / 76%. Combined 16-80 is 2.5 hours / 150 / 75%. Each exam currently costs $41.
4. Use the current test-center rules
Remote-proctored Michigan insurance examinations are discontinued. PSI testing locations are required. PSI may add 1-10 unscored experimental questions that count against exam time.
Application, certificate, and exam clocks are different
The NIPR application is valid for 180 days. Each PE certificate is valid for 12 months and the initial matching examination must be taken during that period. A passing exam result is valid for 12 months. A failed exam cannot be rescheduled the same day; scheduling may resume the next day for the next available appointment.
