However, these types of approvals can only be offered by life insurance companies that are accustomed to high risk life insurance cases.
How Much Will it Cost?

Moderate Case – If complications to the liver or kidney, however, are detected, but whose symptoms are mostly controlled and further damage are prevented, you may still qualify for a “Medium Substandard.” Click here for a quote at “Medium Substandard”.

Common Questions to Assess Rating Class
If you’re unsure which of the above health classes to quote yourself at (mild substandard or medium substandard), please see the questions below:
1. When did you start to use alcohol or at what age?
This is a relevant question because it will give a good calculation of the extent of alcohol dependence you had.
2. How many years were you dependent on alcohol and how many bottles did you consume for each day?
The answer to this question will give the assessor an idea on the calculated amount of alcohol you have consumed up to this date. This is a good marker of any possible physiologic complications caused by dependence on alcohol.
3. Have you experienced any withdrawal symptoms within the last 24 months?
Symptoms of withdrawal such as agitation, anxiety, confusion, hallucinations, loss of appetite, nausea, increased pulse and blood pressure and excessive sweating usually occurs 6 to 8 hours or from 2 to 14 days after the last alcohol intake. And if symptoms are manifested within the last 24 months it means it is classified as current alcohol use and, therefore, will get a decline.
4. Do you have your record of Blood Alcohol Level (BAL) laboratory exams?
If BAL results are available for at least the last 12 months, there is a good chance that you will be given the “mild substandard” rating. BAL is a good indicator of the last alcohol use of an individual. If there is current use, however, then it will get a decline. If laboratory and medical findings are able to establish no current use of alcohol, but there are signs of early medical complications then it may get a “medium substandard” rating.
5. Are you taking maintenance medications for other health related conditions?
Maintenance medications for heart ailments, liver disorders, stomach conditions, endocrine complications such as diabetes and mental conditions may be evident signs of complications from alcohol abuse.
6. Are you attending a rehabilitation program or support group recently?
Attending a therapy management can be both a good or bad sign of an individual’s progress depending on the development of coping abilities necessary for long-term withdrawal from alcohol. Response to this question needs to be further evaluated whether a “mild substandard” or a “medium substandard” rating is appropriate.
If you are still unsure which rating class you fall under, we suggest getting a life insurance quote at multiple substandard ratings, so you can familiarize yourself with the range of substandard premiums.
