Review Life Insurance Health Class Guidelines for Common Health Impairments

As you apply for life insurance, you will be asked to
Determine Your Health Class. The Life Insurance Health Impairment table is a general guide to some of the most common health impairments and how each relates to your underwriting class.

IntelliQuote gives you the ability to compare life insurance policies and life insurance rates. Your underwriting class will be based on your current health, medical history, and additional underwriting information. Depending on the nature, severity, and treatment of your impairment, higher class rates may apply.*

Quick Tip:
  • Underwriting requirements vary by company.

  • Your Medical Exam results are critical in the underwriting decision as they relate directly to guidelines for insurance rates

  • Your final rates may vary based on additional information gathered during the underwriting process.
