Reader’s Question:

I have an active life insurance with a term that would end 5 years from now. I remember I went through and thorough medical exam and underwriting process before I was given coverage. Two days ago, I read an advertisement on a local daily in Oklahoma that there’s such thing as NO EXAM LIFE INSURANCE. It sounds fishy, but is this true?

Hi there, Andrea!

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. You might be surprised if I tell you that there is such thing as no exam life insurance. The catch here is that, it will be faster and easier to get approved, but most will be a little pricey compared to your regular life insurance policy. 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. After you submit your questionnaire, you will right away know whether or not you are qualified for coverage.

I hope I was able to help you with your insurance question. Goodluck!

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.

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.

Reader question:

Just how much can my private information affect my life insurance rate quotes in Tulsa Oklahoma?

Greg

Thanks for asking, Greg.

Your medical information is everywhere, and so it’s very hard to keep it completely private, simply because of the vast amount of people that will necessarily see it, from doctors, to nurses, to receptionists, and so on. If you have your life insurance in a group policy, then in some cases the co worker who deals with the insurance for the company may even be able to learn personal information from your medical history. In many cases, life insurace companies’ search for medical information is not very well regulated, and even when there are laws prohibiting the use of certain information, the company can still ask your doctor for it, and in most cases the doctor will give it up, with no intervention from the Oklahoma Department of Insurance.

One of the weirdest pieces of private information that can affect your life insurance rate quotes in Tulsa Oklahoma is something that my friends in the life insurance business have been telling me about in excess. According to them, if you mention something in your doctor’s appointment, for example, if you ask what the risk of you getting a certain disease is, then that can go into your doctor’s medical files and can be used to rate your insurance policy.

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.
