Epilepsy and Life Insurance Underwriting

Cool article on epilepsy and life insurance underwriting. These days even with chronic health issues you can find and obtain quality life insurance that doesn't break the bank. Check it out and let me know what you think.

Epilepsy Life Insurance Underwriting

Epilepsy or otherwise know as a (seizure disorder) is a neurological disorder resulting from abnormal electrical activity of the
brain.

When it comes to Epilepsy Life Insurance Underwriting and ratings it all depends on the Insurance Company and their Underwriting guidelines. Some companies are more lenient than others. You should shop around for the best rate and use a good Life Insurance Broker or Agent to help you find the right policy that meets your planning needs.

Here is a general guide of what some Life Insurance Companies may look for and how they may rate your policy, again this will vary by company.

What are the factors that may affect the underwriting decision:

  • Age of onset
  • Compliance with Doctor and medication
  • Control of any and all seizures and the recent episodes
  • Current and past alcohol use
  • Other health issues that you currently have may also affect underwriting

Landlords and Homeowners Insurance policies - Boise Idaho

Great information about Landlords policies and some of the extra protection and benefits these types of plans may offer. I know a number of people who have had to become Landlords due to the current economic climate so I'm confident you'll find this article interesting.

Amplify’d from goidahoinsurance.com

Landlords Policies are great policies for those of you that own rental or investment properties. They don’t have as much personal property protection built into the policy usually so they can be much more affordable than a typicaly homeowners insurance type of policy.

If you do put a Landlords policy into effect you should really think about having your tenants carry their own Renters Insurance Policy to cover their own personal belongings.

You could also add a Personal Umbrella Policy which would give you an additional $1,000,000 or more possibly in liability protection piece of mind.   We can also provide Renters information for any of your clients that might have need.

Boise Idaho Life Insurance Information!

Life Insurance, the insurance that no one needs until they need it! Take it from me at least look into Term Life Insurance as a temporary fix for the coverage if you don't have the budget for a permanent type of plan. Because once you have a major health event or if the unthinkable happens the first thing you'll say is "why didn't we have life insurance in place"!!!

Amplify’d from www.allstateagencies.com
You want to protect what matters most in your life: your loved ones. With life insurance, you help to ensure that the financial needs of your family are met in the event of your death. This means peace of mind for you now, knowing your family will be secure in the future.
Who Needs Life Insurance?
You need a life insurance policy if anyone depends on your income or stands to inherit a financial burden in the event of your death.
How Much Insurance Do You Need?
This depends on a few factors. Generally, the rule of thumb is 7 times your salary; however, as life changes, your insurance needs might, too. It’s a good idea to reassess your needs annually to make sure you have enough to properly protect your family.
Beyond protection, life insurance can be the cornerstone of your family’s financial security by providing savings and wealth transfer opportunities. In fact, the very first step in selecting life insurance is to decide how you want the insurance to work for your family.

Smokers and Tobacco users Term Life Insurance Plans and Policies

Tobacco Life Insurance Plans

Are you a Tobacco user or if you smoke and are searching for the best priced and affordable term life insurance you will find some great tips in my article. Life Insurance actuaries could rate up the premium by 50% if you are a Smoker or tobacco user in some respect.

Typically if you smoke or use tobacco the life carriers will require you to not have used any form of tobacco for a year or more to get the best rates. If you have smoked within a year that would typically be a Standard or Standard Plus Non Tobacco rating. Two to three years with no tobacco and it is quite possible to obtain non Tobacco User ratings on your policy, which will save you a great deal of money.After five or more years with no tobacco and all other health qualifies you may get the very best rate class available from the life companies.

Here is a sample of potential rate categories for smoking and life insurance:


No Tobacco three years or more - Potential Preferred Quote:
No Nicotine 2 plus years - May qualify for Standard Plus Rates:
No cigarettes or tobacco 1 year or more: potential Standard Rate Class:

How this affects you is by how much money you eventually end up paying for your insurance policy premiums and rates. Now if you still smoke well then you will simply have to qualify as a Smoker. But if you do not plan on quiting or have quit you will have to just end up paying the Smoker Rates on your new plan. Ask yourself if the smoking is worth it while you are paying higher premiums.

On a positive note you should realize that term life insurance prices are at their lowest levels in years due to mortality tables of people living longer and modern medicine. No one likes to pay premiums on any kind of insurance I imagine so when you have this over and done with I'm sure you will have a weight lifted and you can move on to more productive items in your life.

Your first action is to now find a highly qualified life agent or broker to help you find the best policy. Make sure you ask your agent how many life insurance carriers they represent. Your agent really should be appointed and ready to write business with a number of the top life carriers if not find another agent. Ask them if they work with a BGA (Brokerage General Agency) that has a multi-carrier platform. It's potential to get some weird vibes from your broker now because they know now you know what your talking about. Another avenue is to speak with multiple brokers or agents and get multiple quotes from each one of them.

Deciding on the right company to apply with might come down to which carrier offers the least expensive premiums for your desired face amount. Buy as much as you need and can afford since term life is the cheapest coverage to start with initially.
