High Cholesterol (inc. Hypercholesterolemia, Hyperlipidemia)

Life insurance with High Cholesterol

 

Overview

Finding Life Insurance with High Cholesterol is often possible at standard rates if you have a stable and well controlled condition.

Those with higher cholesterol readings and changes to the medication, other conditions or complications or certain lifestyle indicators may also see increased premiums

The condition presents increased risk to longevity the higher the Cholesterol reading and the more medications that are required. Life Insurance premiums are likely to be higher and some insurers may decline to cover you.

The following is aimed at those who have been diagnosed with High Cholesterol and are seeking Life Insurance.

 

Key Issues for High Cholesterol

If you have been declined for Life Insurance by other insurers, that may not mean Life insurance is totally unavailable. Pulse Insurance specialise and may well be able to find cover for those with High Cholesterol and other conditions, when other insurers decline.

  • Your Age
  • Your Cholesterol reading and its stability
  • Control through medication(s)
  • Other Health conditions
  • Lifestyle choices
    • Smoking
    • Alcohol consumption
    • Exercise
    • Obesity

Why Pulse Insurance?

  • Pulse Insurance have been focused on finding unusual cover since 1998
  • We strive to offer caring and sensitive service
  • We are knowledgeable insurance professionals who work as a team
  • We provide a personal service to guide you through
  • If we cannot help, it will not be for the want of trying or know-how

While finding cover for everyone is not always possible and the premium will be higher to reflect increased risk, we like to think we are rather good at helping people find the cover they need.

In 95% of High Cholesterol cases we can offer indicative premiums and/or sense of if cover may be available or not early on; so, you can decide to proceed or not.

 

Being Transparent

It is always important to declare your High Cholesterol and any other medical conditions completely.  Failure to be transparent with any insurer can result in a claim being denied – confounding the very reason for paying any premium in the first place.

 

Your Personal & Medical Details

Everything you disclose about your High Cholesterol to any life insurer or life agent should be treated with sensitivity and appropriate levels of privacy.

 

Your Health

Every person with High Cholesterol knows that their state of health, any complications and their lifestyle will impact their risk and the cover available. These factors will be explicitly considered when determining the fair premium, you would pay. 

Your Pulse underwriting specialist will look to gain a detailed picture of your condition and you should take care to disclose everything.

 

Requirements for more information

While our initial enquiry may gather enough information to provide an indication of cost, our insurers may ask for more in depth information regarding your High Cholesterol and/or any other conditions. Sometimes the details you can provide may allow them to reduce the premium they seek.

As you have a medical condition, it is possible that underwriters will need to seek a Doctor’s report or for you to undergo medical examinations, blood tests or other tests that will confirm your health to allow them to quote an accurate premium and confirm cover details. The costs involved in obtaining the medical information are usually paid by the underwriter, but if not, you will be informed before they are requested.

Pulse will never sell your details to anyone ever. We will use your details to provide the service you have asked for according to the permissions you grant us– read our Privacy and Data Protection policy in full.

 

Medical Reports

If you have any recent or relevant medical reports, these can enable underwriters to provide a more accurate indication. 
 
Please send these either to [email protected] or post them to us
 
n.b. Do not worry if you don’t have any medical reports as they are not usually needed to give an indication of cover / cost.
It may be necessary anyway for separate specific medical reports to be sought if you decide to proceed with an application.
 
If you have any queries, please give a member of the team a call on 01280 841430.

 

Additional Covers

Pulse may be able to offer covers beyond everyday Life Insurance to give you the peace of mind and protection you desire.

The reasons you may need life cover may be simple or complex, but having the right covers brings peace of mind for you and your family.
