The timing of your birth date and the date you purchase your insurance can affect your premium, especially if you\u2019re moving into the next age bracket. For example, if you\u2019re turning 71 soon, you may want to purchase coverage\u00a0<u>prior<\/u>\u00a0to your birthday and lock in the rate for a 70-year-old. Because some insurers will increase their rates at age 71. This is a perfect example of how the \u201cearly bird gets the worm\u201d (a better rate).
