What are Health Classes?
Insurance companies use a set of criteria that help them determine your eligibility premiums for life insurance based on your health and lifestyle.

Alternate Rating Categories
For the approximately 5-8% of applicants that do not qualify for the categories noted above, the insurance companies offer additional rating options beyond Standard. These rates are generally applied to those who have a substantial medical history, such as cancer or major heart problems.
