The Best Life Insurance Rates for Healthy Individuals

Do you strive to live a healthy life? Eating well and keeping active helps you avoid medical issues and live longer. It also improves your term life insurance options and pricing.

Life insurance premiums are determined by the insurance companies and are based on mortality risk statistics. Essentially, if you’re expected to live a long, healthy life, you can expect to pay lower life insurance premiums.

Life insurance companies evaluate your application, your medical records and, if applicable, your life insurance medical exam results. They assign you a risk class based on their findings. Preferred Plus is the best risk class available.

Example of Monthly Premiums by Risk Class

Term: 20 Years | Coverage: $500,000

Age: 30

Risk Class Males Females
Preferred Plus $20.19 $16.32
Preferred $24.88 $19.71
Standard Plus $31.36 $26.69
Standard $35.90 $30.23
Preferred Tobacco $68.42 $55.24
Standard Tobacco $89.67 $67.87

Life Insurance Rewards for a Healthy Lifestyle

Healthy individuals are less likely to die prematurely. This means a life insurance company is then less likely to pay out a large death benefit sooner rather than later.

Oftentimes, people don’t buy a life insurance policy until they have a medical condition. To balance these risks, life insurance companies also need healthy clients to buy policies. There is a lot of risk management done behind the scenes to ensure a life insurance company stays solvent.

Life insurance is important for not only unhealthy individuals, but healthy ones too. Your life can change in a moment. Financially protect your loved ones with life insurance even if you’re expected to live a long, healthy life.

Quotacy works with many life insurance companies who offer incentives to healthy individuals. These incentives may include:

  • Lower premiums
  • No medical exam
  • Faster approval process

When you go through Quotacy’s online life insurance quoting tool, you’ll be asked a few health questions such as your height and weight and smoking status. If you’re eligible for any policies with healthy incentives, you’ll be shown these options.

Quotacy Helps Healthy People Get the Best Life Insurance Rates

Quotacy is your advocate in the life insurance industry. What do we mean by this?

When you apply for life insurance through Quotacy, your agent reviews your application before officially submitting it to the insurance company. We double-check that the company you chose will be the most favorable, in other words, be most lenient if you have any risk factors.

Example:

Do you rock climb to stay active? Life insurance companies underwrite rock climbing differently. Some are more strict with this activity. We’ll make sure you’re matched with the insurance company that will offer the best price possible.

If there is a life insurance company—different from the one you choose on our website—that will likely offer you a better price, we’ll let you know your options. It’s completely your decision if you want to switch to the recommended company or stick with your original choice. Either way, we’ll keep you updated as your application moves through the approval process.

Lifestyle Changes Get Better Life Insurance Rates

Whether you’re shopping for life insurance for the first time or looking to reapply to see if you can get lower rates, the following lifestyle changes can help your chances of getting affordable life insurance.

Exercise

Exercise lowers your blood pressure, bad cholesterol level, and risk of heart disease. Having a healthy heart and low BMI will help you live a longer life. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle helps you qualify for better life insurance rates.

Quit Smoking

Tobacco users have their own life insurance risk classifications separate from non-tobacco users. All things otherwise equal, a tobacco user will always pay more for life insurance than a non-tobacco user.

Not all tobacco products are evaluated equally. A cigarette smoker will receive tobacco rates but pipe smoking, chewing tobacco, electronic cigarettes, cigars, smoking cessation products (e.g. Nicorette gum) and marijuana use are all viewed a bit differently depending on the life insurance company.

Less Alcohol

Excessive alcohol use, both in the form of heavy drinking or binge drinking, can lead to numerous health problems, chronic diseases, neurological impairments, and social problems—all of which can affect your life insurance premiums. In general, if you are a healthy individual and only drink moderate amounts of alcohol, there are life insurance companies that will consider you for their best class rates.

Eat Healthy

What you eat is important. Eating mindfully helps you maintain a healthy weight, and keep your heart and other vital organs in peak physical condition. Saving money and living longer are just two important benefits that you will enjoy by eating well.

Low-Risk Occupation

There are jobs which can be considered hazardous and come with a shortened life expectancy. These jobs may be considered hazardous because there’s a higher chance of an accident occurring—for example, construction workers—or it’s an unhealthy working environment—for example, miners.

All life insurance companies have occupational manuals which list the occupations deemed to have an adverse effect on mortality. If you work in one of the listed occupations, you will likely be required to pay a higher life insurance premium.

If you purchase a policy and were paying a higher rate because of your job, but then change to a less hazardous one, you may ask the life insurance company for a reconsideration. Depending on the circumstances, it’s likely they will agree to move you into a better risk class and decrease your life insurance premiums.

Low-Risk Hobbies

If you participate in a hobby that can be deemed risky, your life insurance premiums will be higher than the average person’s. Depending on the mortality risk associated with the hobby, your risk class will be affected, or you may be required to pay a flat extra, or you may be declined altogether.

Most recreational hobbies are considered low risk, so your community softball league or cross-stitching isn’t anything to be concerned over. According to insurance companies, the most common high-risk hobbies include: SCUBA diving, mountain climbing, backcountry skiing, skydiving, and racing.

Drive Carefully

If you’ve ever gotten a speeding ticket, you know how expensive it can be. Not only do you have to pay a fine, but your auto insurance premiums likely increase. DUIs can have even more serious consequences.

When you apply for life insurance, the application asks about any driving incidents and your motor vehicle records are reviewed. Typically, if you have no major violations within the past five years you can still be considered for the best rate class: Preferred Plus. If you have a habit of pushing the limits behind the wheel, the premiums offered by the life insurance company will reflect this risk. Don’t text and drive. Don’t drink and drive. Don’t Snapchat and drive. Don’t drive 20 miles over the speed limit.
