# MIB Code

A MIB code is a short number that stands for a medical condition or other risk fact reported by a carrier to MIB. Other member carriers see the code, not full medical details.

## Why it matters

Codes let carriers compare an application to past ones without sharing the entire file. Agents should tell clients that carriers may check MIB, and to answer accurately. A code alone does not decide the result. Consumers can get a copy of their file to check it. Rules vary by carrier.
