  • Prior to purchasing a life insurance, a person should also look that the insurance policy covers the lifestyle choices like smoking, consuming too much alcohol, being overweight and unfit, many insurance policy providers not included these things in the policy because it will be costly for them if the person becomes sick due to his/her lifestyle. So, it is better to avoid an insurance policy that is not according to an individual’s specific requirement.

To avoid paying a large amount of money, a person should go to a doctor for the checkup and he/she should give his/her reports to the insurer to avoid getting the cost of the insurance policy increased.

A person should not lie or hide any information from the insurance company; if he/she has any bad habit then he/she should disclose it to the insurer.
