Life is unpredictable and you never know when it may come to an end in an unfortunate incident. Therefore, it is important to secure the financial future of your loved ones in your absence. The commonest and most popular way to achieve this is with a life insurance policy.
Life insurance policy is an agreement between the insurer and you (policyholder). Under this agreement, the insurer guarantees to pay the death benefits to your beneficiaries in case of an untoward event. In return for such a guarantee, you pay the insurer a premium.
Most insurers may require you to undergo a life insurance medical test. This allows the insurer to verify that all details about your current health and past medical history are accurate. The medical test is performed by a certified and licensed practitioner.
Stages of insurance medical test
The insurance medical test is often conducted at a diagnostic facility designated by the insurer. A qualified medical professional will collect samples, perform various tests, and ask you certain questions based on a questionnaire. Generally, the entire process is completed within half an hour. Here are three phases of medical checkup for insurance.

The evaluating medical professional will provide you with a questionnaire. You must reply to these verbally according to the best of your knowledge with sheer accuracy.
During this stage, the medical practitioner will ask you certain questions. These may include questions about past hospitalizations if any, any medicines you consume on a regular basis, history about any medical procedures you may have undergone, and about any current medical issues and diseases.
The medical professional may also ask you questions about the medical history of your close family members. Additionally, you may need to provide details about your family doctor and the facility you often use in case of illness.
You will also have to give information about your habits such as smoking, drinking, or drug abuse if any. In case you suffer from anxiety, depression, or other mental issues, you must provide details about the same to the medical practitioner during this phase.
2. Standard sampling
In this phase, standard samples, such as blood and urine may be collected for testing. The samples are checked for various diseases. The results of such tests are then cross-checked with the information provided during the verbal questionnaire stage.
