WHY DO LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES CARE ABOUT MY MEDICATIONS?

There are specific risks associated with the use of prescription medications like Losartan.
Why you were prescribed Losartan is the most crucial factor in determining your life insurance rates.
Insurers see it as a red flag when you have an extensive list of medications. They are aware that prescription medications can be a cause of a new illness or condition. This is the reason why they consider not only the medicines that you are on, but the combination and their potential risk.
It’s better to fully disclose any medications that you are taking, as well as any medical conditions that you have been treated for in the past.
Only trust a knowledgeable and experienced life insurance agent! They will know the best way to deal with your unique medical condition and health issues.
Always inform your agent of your medical impairments, and then go with their expert recommendations. This is your best to get your life insurance policy approved at the best possible premium rate.
HOW HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE EFFECTS PREMIUMS
Insurers will raise premiums to account for the different risks that are caused by high blood pressure. Hypertension is often an early indicator of cardiovascular diseases such as heart attack and stroke.
Life insurance companies consider high blood pressure as a risk factor. And people with high blood pressure are put in a higher risk category.
Life insurance companies will evaluate your overall health; this includes lifestyle and habits.
The specific level of your blood pressure plus the relationship of your weight to your height will be taken into consideration. The amount of exercise you perform on a routine basis will also be considered.
BLOOD PRESSURE RANGES
Your most recent blood pressure reading along with your history will be looked over by your insurance underwriter. This blood pressure reading will determine the status of your risks for a life insurance policy.
Regular – Reading should not exceed 150/190 for people who are taking medications. The readings may be higher for the older age group. For example, people who are over 50 or 60 may get a regular policy if their blood pressure readings are a bit above these levels.
Preferred – Reading should be kept at 140/90 on a regular basis when using medication and at 150/90 when off medication. You can get premiums that are a little lower than those in the regular classification.
Preferred Plus – Readings should be under 140/90 without medications. Readings like this indicate that you don’t have high blood pressure and you would be eligible for the lowest premium rates.
