One option for coverage is to purchase a no medical exam life insurance policy. As you can guess from the name, these plans will give you life insurance without having to take the medical exam. Without the medical exam, the insurance company won’t get a picture of your current health. Before you purchase a no exam plan, it’s important that you understand the pros and cons of these plans before you decide which one is best for you.
One advantage of these plans is that you can be approved for coverage much faster than you can with a traditional policy. A normal plan could take a month or more to get life insurance, but with no exam policy, you can get life insurance in a matter of days. If you want life insurance as quickly as possible, then a no exam policy is going to be a better choice.
On the other hand, there are several drawbacks to these policies that you should be aware of. One of those is that you’re going to pay more for your coverage. Without the exam, the insurance company is taking a great risk, and they are going to offset that by charging you higher premiums.
If you have been diagnosed with Sjogren’s disease, you might be worried about getting declined for coverage or being charged expensive premiums for your coverage. In most cases, neither of these are true. There are several ways that you can increase your chance of getting approved and getting lower rates. Making a few simple changes can save you thousands of dollars every year.
One way to do that is to improve your overall health before you apply for insurance coverage. When you apply for life insurance protection, the insurance company is going to require that you take a medical exam. The results of that exam are going to play a major role in how much you pay every month. If you want to save money, then you need to get better results from the medical exam. The two easiest ways to do that is to get exercise and cut out junk food. Both of these will help you lose weight, lower your blood pressure, and much more. If you’re overweight, then you’re going to pay around 50% more for that insurance policy.
Another way to save money is to cut out any tobacco that you currently use. If you’re a smoker, then you have a much higher chance of being diagnosed with lung cancer or having a heart attack, which means that you’ll be considered a high-risk applicant. If you’re a smoker, then you should expect to pay at least twice as much for your insurance coverage versus what you would pay if you didn’t smoke.
Every insurance company is different, and all of them are going to give you different rates depending on their medical underwriting and rating system. Some companies are going to offer you more affordable rates, while others are going to give you higher rates because of your health. Finding the best company is the difference in getting an affordable policy or one that’s going to break your bank every month.
