Here are the benefits to you:
● New chart is easier to read with more clarity and transparency.

● Blood and urine requirement is streamlined for Life applicants.
● Detailed underwriting requirements for higher coverage amounts and mature applicants.
Please refer to the new Evidence of Insurability schedule (Form #1343) for full details.
Equitable® has the right to ask for more evidence of insurability. We will do this if we feel it is needed to assess the risk.
Key changes – Age and amount requirements
Life applicants:
● Resting ECG: No longer a routine age and amount requirement. This may still be requested at our underwriter’s discretion.
● Treadmill ECG: No longer required at any age or amount.
● Standalone Urine: Standalone urine changed to blood and urine at $100,001 and $500,000 coverage amounts for clients over age 55.
● Mature Age Focus Interview (MAFI): New for clients aged 75+. As part of the paramedical, we will assess the applicant’s Activities of Daily Living, social activities, and word recall ability.
Life and Critical Illness applicants:
● For clients aged 70+, evidence is now valid (recent) if completed within the past 6 months. For all other applicants (ages 18-69), there is no change – evidence is valid if completed within the past 12 months.
Financial/Third-party verification
Reminder – this is required for life insurance amounts over $5M. Our underwriting team will be pleased to assist you with this step.
