The Louisiana Market for Insurance Agents
Louisiana is a Gulf Coast market where final expense and burial coverage carry deep cultural importance. The Price Group writes business across the state, with most agent activity concentrated in New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Shreveport, and Lafayette. Because TPG runs a fully remote, telesales-first model, Louisiana agents work from home and serve every county on the map, not just their local metro. Final expense is the entry product most Louisiana agents start with because lead flow is consistent and average premium fits a wide range of senior budgets, and term, whole life, and Medicare Supplement cross-sells follow naturally as the book matures.

Do I need to be a Louisiana resident to get a Louisiana life insurance license?
No. Louisiana issues non-resident licenses to agents already licensed in good standing in their home state. The non-resident application is filed through NIPR with no additional Louisiana pre-licensing required.
Which Louisiana license should I get for selling final expense and term life?
The Louisiana Life Producer (Life-Only) license is the minimum required to sell life insurance, including final expense and term/whole life. If you also want to sell Medicare Supplement or under-65 health, you can either take a combined Life & Health course up front or add the Health line later. TPG agents typically start Life-Only and add Health when they are ready.
