Heart Transplant
Life Insurance Approval after Heart Transplant
If you’ve had a heart transplant, and have been shopping for affordable life insurance, you’ve probably found that your options are quite limited.
In most cases, all your traditional life insurance companies will decline your case as if you’re terminally ill. It is truly unfair, considering that 50% of heart transplant recipients live more than 10 years after the surgery. In recipients who live at least one year after the surgery, the prognosis is even better.
Our Insurance Solution for Heart Transplant Survivors
We have affordable options for heart transplant survivors, who have had the surgery more than two years ago. Yes, it’s okay if you’re on the immunosuppressants, such as Rapamune. This is expected.
As long as you can answer the following questions no, coverage is available in most states:
1. In the past 2 years, have you had a heart attack or stroke?
2. In the past 2 years, have you had or are you now awaiting an organ or bone marrow transplant?
3. In the past 2 years, have you been advised by a licensed medical professional to be admitted to a nursing home, hospice, extended care, or other special treatment facility, or are you now hospitalized?
There are a few other questions you have to be able to answer “no” to in order to qualify, but these are the major ones relating to your heart.
