<strong>Reader’s Question:

Is it true that I would never be able to get a life insurance provider here in West Virginia because I was recently diagnosed with cancer?

Not necessarily, who ever told you that you can’t get life insurance coverage because you have been diagnosed with cancer is obviously out of the loop. Admittedly, it is somewhat of a challenge for cancer patients to get life insurance, given the right conditions or with the help of a skilled and experienced life insurance broker there in West Virginia backing you up you will, sooner or later, find someone who will be willing to provide you life insurance coverage.

There are exception of course, the probability of getting approved life insurance coverage would depend on how far the cancer has progressed, what kind of cancer it is (certain types of cancer can be easily treated with minor surgery if caught very early, and would pose very little risk to the patient), and the percentage of recovery from the said disease. It would be virtually impossible for you to be granted life insurance coverage if you are already undergoing cancer treatment so it’s best to be decisive about getting a life insurance policy as quickly as possible.

What you do need to know is that premiums for cancer life insurance coverage are more expensive. Even after successfully undergoing the treatment and managing to kill the cancer cells, you are still considered a “high-risk” customer. There will probably be a bit of a surcharge added on your policy for a year or so, this is just to make sure that the disease would not be coming back, after witch you can expect to pay normal rates again.
