Confused about Insurance?
Here are some questions and answers !
What is preferred
underwriting?
Back about 10 years ago, life insurance underwriters have realized
that not every person is the same and that there are many factors
that can determine ones lifespan. With the term insurance market
getting more an more competitive, some insurance companies came up
with "preferred" underwriting, which basically means that if you are
in better then average health, you would be rewarded by paying less
premium.
How do I
know what health category I will fit into (regular, preferred or
preferred plus?
It's not very easy to tell, only the underwriter will know for sure,
and only once the medical is completed and all health questions are
answered, but here is a ball park idea for you (allthough over simplified). If you are average
height and weight, are not taking any prescription medication and
have a fairly good family history, you would be a good candidate for
preferred rates.
