Can You Purchase Life Insurance if You Already Have a Pre-Existing Health Condition?

At Westco Insurance LLC, serving the greater Colorado Springs, CO area, one of the questions that we are frequently asked about in relation to life insurance is whether you can purchase a life insurance policy if you have a pre-existing health condition. Many people do not start thinking about their death until they are faced with a health condition, so this is a question that is often asked. Here is some information you need to know if you are considering buying life insurance with a pre-existing health condition. 

Can You Purchase Life Insurance If You Have a Pre-Existing Health Condition? 

Most life insurance companies ask you if you have any pre-existing health conditions on the insurance application. While some companies deny you for having pre-existing health conditions, many will issue you a policy. However, the amount you pay will likely be much higher than someone else with no health conditions. 

Should You Disclose a Pre-Existing Health Condition? 

If you have a pre-existing health condition, you may think about omitting the information to get approved for a life insurance policy. This is something that should never be done. If the insurance company finds out you lied, and they can subpoena your insurance records, they can cancel your policy and refuse to pay out on the policy if you pass away. You must always be truthful and disclose pre-existing health conditions if a life insurance company asks. 

While it may be more challenging and costly to purchase a life insurance policy if you have a pre-existing health condition, many insurers will allow you to buy one as long as you disclose the condition. If you are in this position, Westco Insurance LLC, serving the greater Colorado Springs, CO area, can help you find the best policy for your needs. Call or email us to learn more.
