The Medical Information Bureau provides information about which group of applicants?

  1. All insurance applicants

  2. Individual health insurance applicants

  3. Life insurance applicants only

  4. All group insurance applicants

The correct answer is: Individual health insurance applicants

The Medical Information Bureau (MIB) primarily provides information about individual health insurance applicants. This organization collects and maintains data on the health histories of applicants, which allows insurance companies to better assess risk and make informed underwriting decisions. The information gathered by the MIB typically pertains to individual applicants, rather than groups or solely life insurance applicants. Therefore, the focus on individual health insurance applicants is what makes this the correct answer. Group insurance applicants and life insurance applicants do have their own systems and underwriting processes, but the MIB's primary role is to support the individual health insurance market by facilitating better risk evaluation through shared medical histories.
