Which of these factors would an insurer consider when determining whether to accept a group life plan?
-
Number of dependents
-
Incontestable period
-
Average age
-
Grace period
Correct Answer
A. Average ageExplanation
When determining whether to accept a group life plan, an insurer would consider the average age of the group. This is because the average age can provide insights into the overall health and mortality risk of the group. Younger individuals generally have lower mortality rates, making them less risky to insure. On the other hand, older individuals may have higher mortality rates and may be more likely to make claims, which can increase the insurer's risk. Therefore, the average age is an important factor in assessing the risk and determining the acceptability of a group life plan.Rate this question:

A non-contributory health insurance plan helps the insurer avoid:
-
Adverse selection
-
State compliance

The underwriting process

Correct Answer
A. Adverse selectionExplanation
A non-contributory health insurance plan helps the insurer avoid adverse selection. Adverse selection refers to the situation where individuals with higher risks are more likely to seek insurance coverage. By offering a non-contributory plan, the insurer eliminates the need for individuals to pay premiums, which reduces the incentive for high-risk individuals to enroll. This helps the insurer balance the risk pool and prevent potential financial losses that could arise from insuring a disproportionately high number of high-risk individuals.Rate this question:
