Pulmonary Embolism

Life Insurance after Stroke(s)

Overview

Life Insurance is sometimes available after a Pulmonary Embolism.

Having a Pulmonary Embolism  or multiple Pulmonary Embolisms presents increased risk to longevity and more so if other conditions are present and so Life Insurance premiums will be higher for most people.

However cover is sometimes available with Mainstream insurers if you had a single Pulmonary Embolism with minimal complications.

If your have been declined for cover by mainstream insurers or your Pulmonary Embolism was more severe or you have had multiple Pulmonary Embolism  or suffer from other conditions, then Pulse may be able to help you find cover.

 

Conditions which may increase the risk of Pulmonary Embolism (s)

There are some conditions which can increase the risk of Pulmonary Embolism.  Equally, it is not always the case that these multiple conditions go hand in hand.

In all cases, you have multiple conditions whether directly related or caused by your other condition, please ensure you tell us about all of them. In some cases, you may find it easier to complete each of our specific enquiry questions for each condition. Or you may prefer to detail everything at once when answering your primary condition questions. 

To complete multiple conditions, select your first condition and when that is complete, you will have the option to add more one at a time till you are ready.

 The following conditions are known to be more common amongst those who suffer a Pulmonary Embolism:-

If you suffer from any other condition not listed, please ensure you tell us about it in your enquiry.

Your application with Pulse Insurance will always be individually considered by our human underwriters based on the specifics of the details you provide; you will not be subject to some glib computer system assumption extracted from a condition name or worse. 

If you are at all unsure how to proceed, please to not hesitate to give our friendly Pulse Team a call on 01280 841430

Being Transparent

It is always important to declare your Pulmonary Embolism  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 Pulmonary Embolism to any life insurer or life agent should be treated with sensitivity and appropriate levels of privacy.

 

Your Health

Every person who suffers a stroke knows that their condition and its complications will be in some way relatively unique to them. Other aspects of your overall health can impact your risk and the cover available. These 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

Occasionally our initial enquiry may not gather enough information to make a definitive decision, our insurers may ask for more in depth information regarding your Pulmonary Embolism  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.
