Underwriting
💡 In plain English: The process insurers use to decide whether to cover you and at what price — based on your health, age, and risk factors.
Definition
The process by which an insurer evaluates the risk of insuring a person or entity to determine coverage terms and premiums.
📌 Real-World Example
A 45-year-old smoker applying for term insurance will undergo medical tests, disclose smoking habits, and receive a higher premium — or loading — compared to a healthy 30-year-old non-smoker.
