A life insurance medical exam generally involves a blood and urine specimen, blood pressure reading and height and weight measurement. In addition, a series of questions regarding your medical history will be asked. The examiner will ask questions regarding medical conditions, surgeries, medications, or other treatments you may have had. He or she will also ask the names and addresses of physicians and/or hospitals that have treated you.
