Underwriting Process
The underwriting process will check several information databases including:
- Motor Vehicle Report
- Prescription Database
- Medical Information Bureau
Think of the MIB as the place where insurance carriers share information on applicants for the good of the group. This reduces fraud and increases underwriting efficiencies, ultimately passing some savings on to the consumer.
For example: If a past application contained information about your high blood pressure readings, this will be seen in the MIB by the new insurer.
Medical Questionaire
Just like any insurance application, you'll be asked questions pertaining to your health, family medical history, tobacco, alcohol, and drug use and anything else that may influence the rate you are offered in exchange for an insurance policy.
Decision Time
Transamerica can be pretty fast, sometimes giving decisions in about a week but normally is a little long for a no exam policy. We have seen it take up to 30 days if they feel the need to request your medical records. Some of this added time will depend on your doctor's office and how quickly they comply.
Pros
Will be favorable towards some medical conditions that other companies will not.
Has very good riders and policy options.
Cons
Maximum death benefit of $249,999 is low for no medical policies.

Cost
The price for Transamerica's no exam product is not the cheapest around but is a good value considering what you get included.
