Pre-Underwriting

The food you consume and your activities before a para-medical exam can influence the results and your underwriting category.

For optimal outcomes, adhere to these pre-exam recommendations:

• Schedule your exam for early morning.
• Fast for 10 hours, despite any advice from the appointment scheduler.
• Ensure a restful night's sleep.
• Refrain from intense physical activity, including jogging, for 24 hours.
• Abstain from alcohol for 24 hours.
• Avoid all tobacco and nicotine substitute products for at least 24 hours prior to the exam.
• Please hold off on your morning caffeine until after the exam.
• Drink a glass of water an hour before providing a urine sample.
• Arrive a bit early to the exam, feeling relaxed.
• Before being weighed, remove shoes, cell phone, wallet, keys, etc. Remember to stand erect for height measurement.
• Carry a list of your current physicians, their contact details, and all prescribed medications with dosages.
• Should you feel unwell, consider rescheduling your exam.
