Buy No Exam Life Insurance in Oklahoma
Reader’s Question:
I just want to know if medical examinations are always required when applying for life insurance in Edmond Oklahoma OK or is there a way to apply for life insurance with no medical examination?
Chana
Edmond, OK
Hello, Chana!
Medical examinations are routine procedures required when you apply for life insurance in Edmond Oklahoma OK the regular or traditional way. This is the insurer’s way of determining your health condition because it has a significant effect on your life insurance policy. Your health condition, together with other factors, determines the premium payments for your life insurance policy. The operative word here, Chana, is “traditional” or “regular” which refers to the application process we have always known and which involves medical examination. But recent developments have given insurance applicants in Edmond Oklahoma OK and the rest of the country options on whether to take the traditional route and take medical exams or choose the no exam life insurance policy. No exam life insurance, as the name implies, does not require any medical examinations. No exam medical life insurance will be the best policy for people on the go, or for people with already diagnosed illnesses, and for people who just shies away from a medical exam for reasons known only to themselves.
You can expect, Chana, no exam life insurance to have higher premiums than regular life insurance since risks are considerably higher because the insurer did not have the opportunity to evaluate the applicant’s health condition and will rely only on the provided information to them.

Oklahoma Smoker Life Insurance Quotes
Reader question:
I bought a life insurance policy for a really good price about…three years ago, I guess? It’s a term policy with thirty years on it. Anyway, I was really happy about the great rates I got, but now my friend has turned me onto cigars, and I’ve begun smoking them regularly. Do I have to get Oklahoma smoker life insurance quotes and higher rates? Will my benefits be given out if I don’t?
James
Thanks for asking, James.
Oklahoma smoker life insurance quotes are indeed something to be scared of. Smokers often pay two to three times the amount people with standard policies pay, and even if you quit smoking, it takes years before life insurance companies stop taking your former smoking habits into account when rating your policy. If you are a smoker and apply for life insurance but don’t tell the company that you smoker, then if you die in the first two years of your policy and they come to find out you were a smoker, you can have your benefits either completely denied or only partially given out.
However, Oklahoma smoker life insurance quotes are an entirely different matter in your situation. Although it may seem like kind of a weird double standard that life insurance companies will punish people who quit smoking 4 years ago, but not people who start smoking heavily the day after they purchase their policy, that’s just how it is. The life insurance companies are more concerned with smokers who smoked before they bought insurance, but if you start afterwards then you are scot free. You might have a harder time renewing and getting good premiums if you don’t kick the habit, though.

Cheapest Online Life Insurance In Oklahoma
Reader question:
What does my life insurance company mean when they ask for my build when I am looking for the cheapest online life insurance in Oklahoma?
Jessica
Great question, Jessica.
Well, your build is important in your search for cheapest online life insurance in Oklahoma because it has to do with how much you weigh and whether that contributes badly to your health or not. Your build isn’t exactly your weight–it’s more like how to determine if you are overweight when looking at both how much you weigh and how tall you are.
The more uneven this ratio is, the more trouble you’re going to have finding the cheapest online life insurance in Oklahoma. If you are overweight according to your build, then you become an increased risk because, as you age, you have a higher probability of getting all kinds of health problems, from diabetes to high cholesterol, from heart attacks to kidney disease.
Of course, you’re not just in trouble if you’re overweight, but you can find some difficulty getting cheap insurance if you are underweight as well. This indicates all kinds of problems, from mobility problems, to possibilities of anorexia, and so on.

Oklahoma City life insurance rate quotes
Reader questions:
Am I able to get ahold of my records with the Medical Information Bureau so that I can know what to expect from my Oklahoma City life insurance rate quotes?
Eric
Great question, Eric.
First of all, it’s entirely possible that, even if you have applied for disability, health, or life insurance before, that you are still not going to find yourself in the MIB database, and so it might not affect your Oklahoma City life insurance rate quotes. Only 20% of insurance applicants have files in the Medical Information Bureau database, actually. However, those who do number around 16 million people, always rising, so in numbers so high, it’s possible there might be mistakes.
You can order a report from the MIB just as you can from a credit reporting agency. And, just like with your credit report, any information falls off after seven years, and if you see anything on the report that shouldn’t be there or that isn’t accurate, you can contact the bureau to have it taken off.
Knowing what is on your medical information bureau report is essential to getting cheap Oklahoma City life insurance rate quotes.

Oklahoma Life Insurance Online Rate Quotes
Reader question:
When I fill out forms for Oklahoma life insurance online rates quotes, what kind of information do the insurance companies get to know about me?
Juli
Great question, Juli.
Part of the amount of information you will be required to provide for Oklahoma life insurance online rates quotes will depend on what form of policy you are purchasing. Say, individual insurance versus group insurance. Normally, the company will pry more into your personal information if you are applying as an individual, because there is not so much shared risk.
Another thing is that, anytime you apply for something such as life, health, or disability insurance, your information goes into the Medical Information Bureau (MIB). Whenever you give one such company information about your medical state or history, they report it to the MIB. So when you apply, even if you decide not to reveal certain information, so long as you have revealed it before, you are going to be caught.

Reader’s Question:
Our eldest son is considering the purchase of a permanent life insurance in Tulsa, Oklahoma OK and I think somebody has recommended he look into a Universal Life Policy. I think my present life insurance is working fine, how can that be different from my whole life?
Genie
Tulsa, OK
Glad to hear that your whole life policy has lived up to expectations as most people I know complain about theirs. Although I do not have the betails of your current policy, I should tell you that universal life insurance is an offshoot of whole life. Your son should get together with your agent in Tulsa, Oklahoma OK and get all the details of a universal life insurance policy.
Flexibility is always the key to a good universal life insurance policy. Unlike whole life policies offered by most insurance companies in OK, universal policies allow for the increase or decrease of the death benefit. This can be true of the premium amount which you might need to pay. The policyholder will be responsible for maintaining the cash value of the universal policy for as you know, with whole life the premium is fixed at inception but not with universal life policies. The policy holder therefore will have some flexibility with the premium payments.
The cash value of universal life is linked to the policies interest rate which has the potential for greater growth than with a whole life policy. With this type, cash value is determined by the performance of the carrier’s operations.
Universal life has many tax advantages also which you might find attractive. At the outset, you find that the premiums are greater than the cost of insurance plus you’ll have the surplus yields tax-deferred cash value. Remember too that the premiums were paid with after-tax income and usually the growth is not taxable. This advantage also applies to any loans against a universal life policy which you might make.
James, if your son sees benefits in flexibility, he should look into universal life coverage. Again, your agent will have all the details.

It’s a good thing that you asked me this. I really get a lot of questions about No Exam life insurance…and most say, it sounds crazy!
For those who are used to have the traditional type of life insurance, you might question the authenticity of life insurance without any medical exam.

Although, do not set your expectations too high, since even is there is no exam, there is no guarantee also if you will be given any coverage.
I’d like to inform you beforehand that the benefits for this type are generally limited to a lower amount because the premiums are higher for no exam life insurance policy. The good thing though is that people with medical conditions will get coverage, with relatively higher premiums than that of other life insurance types.
The process can be as simple as A, B, C. You will be asked to fill out a questionnaire, maybe over the phone or through internet. A lot are surprised to know that the results of no exam life insurance are also very instantaneous.

Know the Different Types of Life Insurance
Term Life - Coverage for a certain period of time only. This type of insurance offers relatively huge amounts of coverage (Face Value amount) at affordable prices. Term periods last anywhere from 10, 20, or 30 years. Expensive to maintain/renew in the long-run.
Whole Life - Permanent life insurance coverage that accumulates value (Cash Value feature) over the lifetime of the policy. Premiums are expensive initially but can become much cheaper in the long-run.
Universal Life - Allows for faster interest earning by investing the policy’s cash value towards other investment options.
Variable Life - Permanent life insurance that allows policyholders flexibility in premiums and how their policies are invested by the insurers.
Calculate How Much Coverage You’ll Need
Think of your life insurance as an “Emergency fund” to support your family’s/ dependents’ immediate and future needs should you suddenly pass away. It is recommended that you buy coverage equally to up to five times your annual income. Factor in existing debt/ bills such as home mortgage and future needs like college tuition.

Oklahoma Smokers Life Insurance – Should You Lie About Being a Smoker?
Reader’s Question:
Can I lie about my smoking habits on my life insurance application? Should I tell them I smoke only about two to three times a week? What will happen if the insurers find out I lied about being a smoker?
Saundra
Midwest City, OK
You’ve raised a good question. Yes you can choose to lie about being a smoker on your life insurance application. In fact, you can probably even pass the urine test (since nicotine in the body tends to drop into very low levels 72 hours after smoking). Here’s the catch though, if you die and it is proven that the cause of death is a smoking-related complication or illness then the life insurance company has the right to refuse to pay out the death benefits to your beneficiaries. So all those years you’ve been paying your premiums will just be thrown out the window.
If, on the other hand, it is found out during the underwriting process that you are in fact a smoker the most that life insurers really do is bump your rate up to that of a smoker. Rarely would an insurer cancel a policy just because of this (and in economic times like these, they really can’t afford to do so).
As far as telling them that you are an occasional smoker, that would probably get you better rates as compared to a heavy smoker (and you wouldn’t have to lie anymore just to save some bucks). An even better idea would be to quit smoking since life insurance smoking rates are three to four times higher compared to that of a non-smoker. You also get the added benefit of avoiding some very nasty smoking-related diseases that can considerably shorten your lifespan, and make you wish you’ve quitted when it was not too late yet.
