How Insurance Companies View Chronic Bronchitis

Most insurance companies will either not accept this condition, offer a waiting period plan, or raise your rates considerably.

But if you know where to look and have access to many companies, you can go with a company that accepts this condition freely.

The truth is chronic bronchitis, especially in seniors, is pretty serious. Respiratory issues are the #4 cause of death in the United States, so it is no small thing to you or the insurance company.

Luckily for you, some companies have deemed chronic bronchitis as a non-threatening condition, and will insure you at the same rates as a healthy person.

Timeframe

Now, this article is mainly for people with current chronic bronchitis. However, if it has been over 3 years since your bronchitis, including treatment, then a few more companies will give you level rates the same as a healthy person.

If you have current bronchitis, please keep reading. If it’s been many years since you’ve had this condition, give us a call or fill out our quoter and we will find rock bottom rates for you.

Tobacco Usage

One of the keys to getting approved for burial insurance is wether or not you have used any tobacco or nicotine in the past 12 months.

If you are not a smoker, congratulations! You qualify for the best rates available.

However, if you do use tobacco and have chronic bronchitis your options narrow. Keep in mind we still have companies that accept tobacco users with chronic bronchitis, there are just not as many.

Oxygen Use

Oxygen use is a huge red flag to almost every insurance company that asks you health questions. If you are not taking any oxygen and never have in the past, you can skip this section.

However, it is common for people to take oxygen for respiratory issues, especially as a senior. The key if you or a loved one are taking oxygen is the timeframe and how often.

If it’s been over 1 year since you’ve been on oxygen, the insurance company will not care.

However, if you are on current oxygen you can only qualify for a partial waiting period policy. This is because taking oxygen is a very serious health indicator.

The good news is, even is your are on oxygen, there is a company that will not raise rates on you whatsoever, just know you will be in a waiting period policy.
