Going Through Medical Exams for Life Insurance Policies

A medical examination is typically conducted by a healthcare professional selected by the insurance company. This can occur either in your home or at a medical office in Pittsburgh, PA. Standard procedures during the exam include measuring your height, weight, blood pressure, and pulse. Furthermore, the health professional will obtain blood and urine samples to assess for underlying conditions like diabetes, high cholesterol, or nicotine usage.

You might be asked about your medical history, which might include topics like previous surgeries, medications you’re currently using, and any family health conditions. The exam results, in association with your medical records, provide the insurance company with an exhaustive depiction of your present health and potential future risks.

Influence of Medical Exams on Premiums

The outcome of the medical exam significantly affects the premiums payable on your life insurance policy. If your health is deemed good based on the examination results, you’re more likely to receive favorable rates. However, health concerns like high blood pressure or a smoking history could lead to an increase in premiums or placement of restrictions on your policy. Unhealthy practices are factored in by insurance companies prior to the commencement of the underwriting process.

Exam Preparation

Avoid alcohol, caffeine, and nicotine for at least 24 hours before your exam to ensure more accurate results. Fasting might be required a few hours prior to the exam, mainly if blood tests are involved. Good preparation can better your exam outcome and potentially lower your premiums.

These guys are amazing. Dan and Jamie have been great to work with while finding me home/auto insurance. I had no clue that my home was under insured on my previous policy. My new policy coverage is almost triple covered at a less premium. I'm happy I decided to give them a chance. They went above and beyond.

This agency has been more than an insurance company but more as MY family! They have been there for years for everything along the way from new cars to homes to life insurance. This group means the most to me and my family and I would recommend them to anyone in the market or who isn’t a part of this nationwide group!
