Determining
Rate Class
When looking for
inexpensive life insurance these tables offer general guidelines
as to how most companies will classify you (best class/preferred
plus, preferred, standard plus, standard) based on medical and
personal issues. If you do not meet one or more of the
requirements listed in the best class/preferred plus, preferred,
or standard plus columns, please select "standard"
when calculating your quotes. If you have a health impairment,
higher table rates than standard may apply.
