A paramedical exam is a short health examination that is frequently required as part of an application process for life insurance coverage.
The paramedical exam is performed at your home or place of work at your convenience. It is paid for by the insurance company.
During the examination, a paramedical technician will measure your height, weight, blood pressure and pulse.
You may be asked to provide a blood sample and a urine sample at the time of your exam.
There are some simple steps you can take in the 24 hours before your exam to ensure optimal results; such as, get a good night sleep before your exam, don't drink any alcohol or caffeine the day of your exam, and don't exercise before your exam.
