Reader question:

What do I need to do to compare rates for life insurance coverage policies with cancer in my medical history, and still get good quotes?

Molly

Thanks for asking, Molly.

Well, when you compare rates for life insurance policies with cancer coverage, you might want to look at two of the following options to get the best and cheapest rates: either join into a group policy, such as one with your employer, or you can purchase a graded policy, which only affords you limited benefits for the first couple of years that you have it.

Whatever policy type you choose when you compare rates for life insurance policies with cancer coverage, you need to come prepared. Grab up every last one of the medical records you have detailing how your cancer treatment went, what you did, what the doctor did, and what the two of you have been doing since then. This will show the life insurance company the strength of your recovery and how your own actions had a part in it.

If you want to show that, though, you have to walk the walk. This means following all of the treatment plans your doctor requires of you, staying healthy, and keeping track of your cancer so that you can do what is in your power to make sure it won’t come back.

Instant life insurance coverage with cancer

Reader question:

Can I get instant life insurance coverage with cancer on my medical history?

Mike

Thanks for asking, Mike.

Finding instant life insurance coverage with cancer in your medical history is tough, but not out of range entirely. So long as cancer has been in your past for at least 2 years, it’s not so much whether you can find it at all, but whether you can find it with good rates. This depends on several things, from your type of cancer, to any complications, how you are doing now, and how long you have been in remission. You can, for example, get better rates if you had breast cancer than if you had colon cancer.

It might be a good idea to get instant life insurance coverage with cancer in the form of a guaranteed issue policy. A guaranteed issue policy is expensive because it is given out regardless of past medical conditions, but it is sometimes the only way to go for cancer survivors. Contact a broker or go online and gather life insurance quotes to find out if there is a guaranteed issue policy with a price good for you.

Term life insurance coverage with terminal cancer

Reader question:

Why can’t I get term life insurance coverage with terminal cancer?

Amy

Thank you for asking, Amy.

Over a million people every year are diagnosed with some form of cancer in the United States. At the same time, over half a million people die of some form of cancer. It is a risky disease, and the doomed prospects facing those who have terminal cancer scares most life insurance companies away. After all, they don’t want to insure you for $300,000 if you have only 2 years to live and will only be paying $500 a month (which is pretty high for life insurance). They would lose a lot of money if they did that with everyone.

There are some types of cancer which might give you more of a chance to get term life insurance coverage with terminal cancer than others do. This is because these types tend to end in total recovery more often than others, and these include some kinds of breast and prostrate cancer. If you go into remission, you may even be able to get the regular rates with these.

Others, though, such as colon cancer or leukemia, pretty much preclude you of getting any kind of term life insurance coverage with terminal cancer at all. Speak with a broker first to see if a company which will insure you can be located.
