Critical Illness Cover and Pre-Existing Conditions
Critical illness cover is a policy which will pay out a cash sum on diagnosis of a medical condition that is covered by your policy. The number of conditions covered will vary between providers, which is why it is useful to speak to an expert for help comparing quotes and policy features.
Critical illness insurance can be available for people with many types of medical conditions and iam|INSURED has helped hundreds of these customers find the perfect policies.
Income Protection Insurance and Pre-Existing Conditions
Income protection insurance will pay out a monthly income if you need time off work due to illness or injury. Many people with pre-existing conditions worry that this type of cover may not be available for them, but this usually isn’t the case.
An income protection specialist like iam|INSURED can explain your options for cover (e.g. short-term or long-term policies) and what may work best for you.
Health Insurance and Pre-Existing Conditions
Many people with pre-existing conditions don’t think to buy health insurance, as they assume it will be too expensive. Health insurance for people with pre-existing conditions is constantly evolving, to offer better coverage and pricing.
There are a lot of different options with health insurance, which can be confusing when trying to compare policies. It is usually best to talk to a health insurance expert who can explain how these policies work and what cover might be available.
Find out moreFrequently Asked Questions
For insurance, there are two categories of pre-existing conditions which are conditions you have ‘ever had’ or conditions you have experienced symptoms of in the last 5 years.
When you apply for life or health insurance, you will be asked various questions about your health and medical history so the insurer can work out what coverage is available for you and what price they will offer.
For life insurance, you will also be asked about a family history of certain serious medical conditions (e.g. cancer, heart attack, stroke), so the insurer can assess the likelihood of you experiencing these conditions in the future.
Most insurers will focus on any medical conditions that you have had treatment for or experienced symptoms of within the last 5 years.
They will usually ask a few extra questions about any conditions that you disclose, to get a better idea of how this affects your overall health and lifestyle. This can include questions about treatments or medications, the date that you were diagnosed and how severe your symptoms are.
Life insurance won’t generally exclude claims for pre-existing conditions, provided you told your insurance provider you had the condition when you applied. You won’t need to tell an insurer that you have been diagnosed with any other conditions if the diagnosis happens after your policy is active.
Health insurance typically excludes pre-existing conditions until you've been symptom, treatment, and medication-free for an additional three or five years. Another option with health insurance is to choose full medical underwriting, which might help lower your premiums and control costs.
