The Ratings Ladder - A Comprehensive Evaluation of Your Health Profile

Before exploring the specifics of life insurance ratings, we recommend watching our updated "How Life Insurance Works" video for a clearer understanding of the application process. The rating assigned to your Life Insurance Application isn't merely a matter of negotiation. In our advanced technological era, insurance companies access a broad spectrum of your health information, including doctor's records, lab results from insurance exams, prescription histories, and your Medical Information Bureau (MIB) report.

Insurers use this extensive data, collected from millions of insured individuals, to thoroughly understand which health profile factors indicate higher risks. They compile and assess your information meticulously, which then influences the pricing for the amount and term of insurance you request.

Although underwriters might occasionally overlook certain aspects, potentially leading to higher pricing, TermLifeProvider can offer essential assistance. Our expertise helps underwriters achieve a more comprehensive understanding of your health profile, which could result in a more favorable insurance rating.

Individualized Rating Manuals and Evaluations

Insurance companies each maintain their own unique rating manuals and evaluate health profiles based on their specific areas of expertise, such as weight management, diabetes, sleep apnea, anxiety, and many other health-related conditions. This specialization means that some insurers might be more forgiving with particular health issues, whereas others may adopt a stricter stance.

Finding the Right Fit with TermLifeProvider's Expertise

Upon reviewing your health profile, underwriters place you on what we refer to as the "Ratings Ladder." This ladder includes 12 different pricing levels, with the first rung being the least expensive and the twelfth the most costly. Each age and gender has a distinct ladder, ensuring personalized and relevant ratings.

Everyone initially starts on the fourth rung, known as the Standard Rate. The underwriter will then adjust your position up or down the ladder based on a detailed analysis of your health profile, taking into account both credits and debits. For example, a diabetic might initially be placed on a higher rung due to risk factors but could move to a lower rung if factors like well-managed diabetes, weight, or cholesterol are in their favor.

At TermLifeProvider, we work closely with underwriters to uncover as many credits as possible in your health profile. Our objective is to secure you a position on the lowest possible rung of the ladder, thus ensuring the most favorable pricing for your life insurance coverage.
