Common Questions to Assess Rating Class
If you’re unsure which of the above health classes to quote yourself at (Standard or Mild Substandard), please see the questions below:
1. What is your age on your last birthday?
The age alone can determine whether you will qualify or not because individuals who are 40 years old and above and presents angina are automatically declined.
2. Have you experienced any chest pain within the last six months and how often?
Frequent symptoms of chest pain with no definite trigger factors or time of attack may be a sign of an unstable Angina and may get a decline.
3. Do you take medication?
The need for medications for Angina can both be used as an advantage or disadvantage depending on its regularity of use and since when was the medication started. Regular or maintenance medications for Angina for the last 2 years may be considered a good sign of a stable condition and may get a “Mild Substandard” rating, provided of course that you are 40 and above. Medications, however, that are given very recently may be viewed as a sign of an unstable Angina and may get a decline.
4. Do you have regular check-ups with your cardiologist?
Regular visits to your doctor mean that your condition is controlled and managed well by your physician, which good sign of compliance.
5. Have you had any relevant ECG tests in the past 6 months?
ECG tests done within the last 6 months plus a most recent one will give a comparison whether your condition has changed within the last 6 months. If there are no changes seen this may be considered a stable case of Angina.
6. Do you have any of the following risk factors?
Risk factors for chest pain include diabetes, cigarette smoking, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, family history of heart disease and a sedentary lifestyle. This is very important to determine because if one of the following is present it may contribute to an association with unstable angina and trigger serious complications in the future.
