A rating of “Mild Substandard” on this website would be used to classify a life insurance applicant that seems to be in fair to good health with one rather mild medical condition.
How To Get a Quote
To get a quote for life insurance with a rating of “Mild Substandard” simply use our quoting calculator/widget on this page. Be sure to select “Standard” from the drop down menu under the “Health Class” (top right hand option). Now, add 50% to the quote you are given. For non math folks, just multiply the quoted premium from the tool by 1.5.
Will it be exactly 50% higher?
It will be pretty darn close though underwriters always make the final determination after actual application.
Please remember, substandard ratings are officially called “table ratings” by life insurance companies. An approval of an application in a “Mild” substandard rating range… the insurance company might call it Table 2 or Table B.
Most companies charge 25% per table below the standard rating. It’s possible you could get a Table 1 or Table 2 (A or B) premium rating, which would only cost 25%-50% more than the standard (Standard) rating, but the most common outcome of the two is Table 2, and hence why we are adding a 50% addition.
Applying for Coverage
