A method of doing business is disclosed for the sale of insurance options. An individual is assigned a Health Risk Score (HRS); in a preferred embodiment, the HRS is determined by using an automated case-based method for assessing risk. The individual may then purchase an option for insurance coverage that will begin only after a predetermined period of time. At the beginning of that period, the individual's HRS is re-evaluated, and if it remains within predetermined acceptable limits, the individual may then obtain insurance coverage with premiums and benefits defined at the time of the purchase of the option. A case-based method for assessing risk is disclosed, in which various risk factors and their combinations are used to provide a scoring matrix. This scoring matrix is then used to evaluate the individual's HRS.
