Keyman
Insurance Examination Checklist The
Keyman insurance “mini physical” is
one of the most crucial parts of the process of securing
a competitively priced insurance policy. For
details on the specific requirements of the life insurance exam see, “Everything
you wanted to know about a Paramedical Exam.”
To save you time and to obtain the best possible medical results, please follow
these helpful suggestions:
Blood pressure and pulse
can be artificially raised by stress, alcohol, caffeine
and tobacco.
Get a good night's sleep
the night before the examination.
Abstain from alcoholic beverages
for at least eight hours prior to the exam.
Do not smoke or chew tobacco
for at least one hour prior to your examination.
Avoid drinking coffee, tea
or caffeinated soft drinks for at least one hour prior
to your examination.
Limit salt intake and high
cholesterol foods 24 hours before your examination.
You should not engage in
strenuous physical activities 24 hours before the examination.
Advise your Paramedical Examiner
regarding any medications you are taking, even non-prescription
medications.
Have available your physician's
names, addresses, dates of past visits, names of any
prescribed medications and any information regarding
injury and major illness during the previous five years.
If you belong to Kaiser or
any other prepaid medical plan, have your medical record
number available.
Drink a glass of water an
hour or so before your appointment. This will help in
obtaining a urine specimen.
If a blood specimen is required,
you should fast according to provider directives prior
to the examination unless otherwise instructed.
