As we described on our BMI chart page, the Body Mass Index is a widely recognized measure that helps health and life insurance companies determine your health. Despite its controversey, BMI is still an important factor in determining whether or not you qualify for the premium and preferred levels of coverage (the plans that generally cost the least).
We've provided a quicker way to find your BMI with this easy calculator. Once you obtain this number you can provide it to a prospective health or life insurance company as you're applying for coverage or quotes. You can request a free quote for health insurance here. On the other hand, if you're looking life insurance, then you can submit your no obligation request for life insurance here.
