The insurance carriers have created guidelines to help you anticipate the decisions the insurers will make when an insurance application is submitted and the proposed insured presents a specific condition.
The guidelines include common medical and non-medical conditions. For each condition, the guidelines indicate factors that may influence the risk and presents an overview of the decisions you may expect. However, the final decision is subject to underwriting upon receipt of the application and it may differ once the file has been assessed.
