Marijuana Underwriting
Carrier Selection is Key
- Insurer selection is key to achieving favorable outcomes
- Key variable: frequency of use
- Favorable criteria: no other drug or excessive alcohol use; no DUIs, criminal background, no diagnosis of anxiety or depression; stable job, family life
- The more information we have about your client in advance of an application, the more accurate our carrier recommendations and preliminary pricing assessment
Marijuana underwriting is getting easier! What is possible varies by insurer, age of the applicant, how it is consumed (smoked, vaped, ingested), frequency of use, whether it is prescribed or used recreationally, and the applicant’s overall health. Evidence of self-medication for anxiety or depression usually leads to higher ratings. Yes, it’s complicated!
