Life Insurance Quote with “Medium Substandard” Health Rating

A “Medium Substandard” life insurance classification is generally applied to an applicant who is healthy enough to be approved for life insurance, but due to a moderately risky health condition, will be asked to pay a higher premium than healthier applicants.

How to Get a Quote

To get a quote at Medium Substandard, simply use our quote form on the right and select “Standard” from the Health Class dropdown menu, and add 100% to the quotes shown, like this:

Now Double that Premium

When you complete our quote form, quotes will be displayed for the “Standard” rating immediately.  You can expect your premium to be approximately 100% higher than the “Standard” premium quoted.

To calculate this, just multiply the premium by 2.

For example:

“Standard” Premium      —>         “Medium Substandard” Premium

$100 per month                —>         $200 per month

$200 per month                —>        $400 per month

$300 per month                —>         $600 per month

Will it Be Exactly 100% More?

Probably.

Please note substandard ratings are officially labeled as “table ratings” by life insurance carriers.  So if you get approved in a medium substandard rating range, the insurance company might actually call it Table 4 or Table D.

Most companies charge 25% per table below the standard rating.  It’s possible you could get a Table 4 or Table 5 (D or E) rating, which would only cost 100%-125% more than the standard rating, but the most common of the two is Table 4, which is why we show a 100% addition.
