The Paramedical Examination:
Generally, a paramedical exam takes about 20 minutes.

An electrocardiogram ( EKG) and/or blood profile may be required, in addition to a urine sample. An EKG is a painless procedure that monitors the heart’s electrical activity, also known as the heartbeat. If a blood profile is needed, the technician will draw blood from your clients arm. The blood and urine samples are then sent to the laboratory via express mail. All test results are confidential and for the purpose of underwriting only. If your client would like a copy of the results, a signed authorization requesting them is required. Clients can discuss the results with their own doctor.
