In this article, we will reveal just how burial life insurance companies underwrite asthma, what your expectations should be, and how YOU can find the best price possible.
Here’s The Blunt Truth About Burial Insurance With Asthma
Every burial insurance plan that has underwriting with have health questions. It’s in these questions where you find if a company takes issue with certain health conditions.
Let’s just get to the bottom line about asthma…
There is almost no circumstance where your asthma will have ANY effect on what your pay for burial insurance plan. It’s incredibly rare for any company to ask or care about this condition. We can easily get you day one coverage and access to the lowest rates with virtually every company.
What about medical records or exams?
Good question.
There won’t be any. Burial insurance plans for seniors only have health questions. That’s it.
When it comes down to it, people with asthma don’t have a significantly lower life expectancy than people without it. That’s why these final expense companies don’t care about it.
Asthma Underwriting
As previously stated, it’s ultra uncommon for life insurance companies to view asthma in a bad light. There are literally like one or two insurance companies out of hundreds that take issue with it.
When you apply for a funeral insurance plan the carrier will compile data about you to complete their risk analysis. Once they have all the information about your health, they will be able to render a decision about your eligibility.
They will take following 2 things into consideration:
Your answers to their health questions
Your prescription history
Don’t look at this stuff and think you have to figure it out on your own. Your Choice Mutual agent will figure this out for you. Once you tell you agent all about your health, they will KNOW which companies will approve you and what the exact prices will be.
Health questions
If you see a burial insurance application ask about asthma (which you probably never will because it’s so rare) answer yes. However, you can and should apply with one of the dozens of companies that don’t ask about asthma.
Medications
In conjunction with their health questionnaire, the insurance carrier will run a prescription history check on you. Basically, they want to make sure you honestly don’t have the conditions they ask about.
For example, let’s say you had a stroke last month. If you answered no to the health question that mentions strokes, they won’t believe you once they see that you were recently prescribed medication to treat a stroke. In the end, your pharmacy report would override your no answer.
They do this to ensure they don’t get defrauded by applicants who are on their death bed.
So what does this have to do with asthma?
Having asthma means you are probably taking steroids, inhalers, pills or maybe a combination of them. With that, here is a list of the most common asthma medications. By far, the majority of burial insurance companies are absolutely okay with these prescriptions.
