Life Insurance Advantages for Being in Excellent Health

Whether you are looking for smaller term life insurance policies such as $25,000 or $75,000, or larger policies such as $500,000 or $1,000,000 in coverage, and are in excellent health, you will generally pay a lot less for a policy than those who have more significant health related issues.

Let’s do a quick comparison between what a person in excellent health might pay as opposed to someone who may have a variety of health issues. The ratings for those who are excellent health are generally rated as “Preferred Plus – Non-Tobacco”, and “Preferred – Non Tobacco”.

You can still get very decent rates if you are both a smoker and in excellent health otherwise, but you will definitely pay more for your premium than a healthy non-smoker. Being in excellent health doesn’t mean “perfect health.” You could be considered in excellent health and receive a “Preferred Plus” rating even though you have some very minor and well controlled health issues.

This could health issues such as slightly elevated blood pressure and cholesterol, mild asthma or anxiety, and are an occasional cigar smoker. You would also qualify if your build is normal and are no more than 10 – 15 lbs overweight.

Other Advantages for Being in Excellent Health

Aside from paying much lower rates for your policy, you can also qualify for policies that others can’t such as certain types of “no-exam” policies. No exam policies are ideal for those who are seeking smaller life insurance policies because typically, most insurers only offer lower rates of coverage such as up to a maximum of around $250,000 – $350,000 in coverage. These policies do cost more because the insurer is taking more of a risk to insure you because they have less medical information to rate you. To get approval for these type of policies, all you might have to do is to answer a few questions and can typically get approved within 48 hours or less.

These policies are especially idea for those who need a policy fast such as for a business loan for example. Another advantage of being in excellent health is that if you are applying for a policy which does require a medical exam, you can expect to be approved faster and incur less medical scrutiny such as having to wait for the insurer to receive medical reports form your doctors. The reason is because if you are in excellent health, the insurer isn’t going to waste time or money waiting for records as they will have based their results from your application answers and from the exam itself.

Even though you might be in excellent health, there are certain conditions where you might expect to pay more on your premium as there are other factors that insurers take into account.

Some of these factors that the underwriter will consider include:

• Lifestyle variables such as your driving history,
• Whether you travel outside of the U.S.
• Alcohol/drug use/abuse
• Family history such as where you have a family member who may have had cancer or heart disease diagnosed prior to age 60
• High risk occupations
