Insurance companies use a process called underwriting that determines applicant’s’ risk, including life expectancy. This helps insurers accurately price life insurance policies to protect themselves financially. It also helps prevent healthy people from paying extra to subsidize the unhealthy. Healthier applicants are more likely to receive lower insurance rates. And those with health problems and those who are older will pay more or possibly be denied coverage for insurance coverage. A large part of the underwriting process involves collecting information about the applicant’s health. A fully guaranteed policy takes into account all medical and personal information. This usually includes a medical exam to confirm your information and determine if you have any health conditions that could affect your life expectancy. The insurance company requires an independent insurance medical assessment for this because they do not agree with your treating doctor’s decision about the course of your medical treatment (especially if your doctor recommends surgery or other expensive procedures) or the extent of any permanent disability.
When you purchase life insurance, the carrier completes an underwriting process to determine your risk class and the rate you will pay for the coverage. Often, part of the underwriting process is a life insurance medical assessment. The exam helps the insurance company determine the health and death risk. While a medical exam can be frustrating, understanding the process and the reason behind it can help you prepare for this part of the life insurance buying experience. Medical assessment is a standard part of many life insurance practices and can usually be performed at your home, workplace or medical facility.
Insurance medical assessment helps insurance carrier determine risk level when you buy a life insurance policy, your premium rate for life insurance coverage is determined in part by this level of risk. For example, if you are in good health, your premiums will be lower because your risk is lower. If you have health or medical problems that could shorten your lifespan, the insurance company will charge a higher premium to account for your higher risk.
When you apply for your life insurance policy, you will answer some questions about your overall health. Medical assessment may also be required to better understand your health status and class rank. If you’re healthy, a medical examination often helps you get more attractive rates and coverage options.
Medical assessment, typically referred to as a paramedical examination, is a standard part of both life and disability insurance. It not only confirms the information you provided to the carrier when you first applied, but it can also reveal new information that could affect your premium.

A insurance medical assessment doesn’t require you to give up an entire day. It may take a short time depending on which tests are included. Using your physical exam information helps the risk bearer determine whether to approve your application and how much they will charge you for your insurance policy. As a result, a life insurance physical exam is a step you should most likely take before getting a life insurance policy. In addition, especially if there are controversial issues or questions raised by the insurance company, the doctor will write a report containing the conclusions and opinions from the assessment in response.
