What is a paramedical exam and how long does it take?

A paramedical exam consists of some questions about your medical history, measurements of your height and weight, blood pressure, and pulse. A blood and urine specimen is also collected. The exam usually lasts 20 to 30 minutes. Your application for insurance is not complete until we have obtained this necessary information.

Why will a blood and urine specimen be collected?

A blood and urine specimen will be collected during a paramedical exam unless instructed otherwise. The tests done are determined by the insurance company and are performed by a laboratory. The test results will be sent only to the insurance company and are used in the underwriting process. Due to HIPPAA we do not receive lab results.

What happens to this information?

All of the information obtained during the paramedical examination is strictly confidential and for insurance purposes only. It will be forwarded to the insurance company for review to help evaluate your individual policy.
