4. Initial Underwriting Requirements

All applicants are subject to varying medical and non-medical requirements based on age and face amount. Mutual of Omaha evaluates risk using a multi-layered underwriting approach. The following diagnostic tools may be required:

Pharmaceutical Check (Rx)

Motor Vehicle Record (MVR)
Attending Physician’s Statement (APS)
Senior Assessment (SA), if applicable
NT-Pro BNP blood test for senior ages
Tax Transcripts (TT), Electronic Inspection Report (EIR)
Personal Financial Supplement (PFS)

Below is a complete breakdown of required evidence for fully underwritten life insurance based on the insured’s age and the face amount applied for.

Underwriting Requirements by Age and Face Amount

Age	$25K–$99K	$100K–$249K	$250K–$499K	$500K–$750K	$750K–$1M

71+	Nonmedical, APS, Rx	Paramed, Blood & HOS, APS, Rx	+BNP	Paramed, SA, Blood & HOS, BNP, APS, MVR, Rx
