For "standard" underwriting risks, the Indianapolis Life MEC product will offer greater initial death benefit amounts. Indianapolis Life's MEC product offers the highest current interest rate and death benefit per $1,000 of premium among the three carriers along with current mortality charges with normal underwriting and table ratings.

Monumental Life's MEC is recommended for those who have a table rating up to table 4 as they can obtain a "standard" offer. However, Monumental's death benefit has already been reduced because of the automatic reinsurance contract program.
