Can I Get Mortgage Protection Insurance With Diabetes?

Yes! And depending on the severity of diabetes and other health conditions and medications, sometimes at the same rates as people without diabetes.

The key will depend on things like your A1c levels, height and weight, and other complications if any with diabetes like heart, circulatory, or nerve problems.

Mortgage Protection Health Classes With Diabetes

The below health classes are for mortgage protection policies that require a medical exam, but you can also get policies with no medical exam at slightly higher rates.

• Preferred Plus – These are the best rates available, but unfortunately, no person with diabetes gets these rates.
• Preferred – It is possible but unlikely to qualify for preferred rates as a diabetic. For most carriers, you must have been diagnosed over age 60 and have no other health conditions.
• Standard Plus – This rate is very healthy diabetics diagnosed over the age of 50. You must be in above-average health to qualify.
• Standard – This is where most type 2 diabetics fall, and must have been diagnosed over the age of 50. Minor health conditions are permitted.
• Sub-Standard – These ratings are divided into tables 1-8. Each rating will get slightly more expensive. If you have type 1 diabetes or were diagnosed with type 2 before the age of 50 you will be in one of these ratings.
  
  

No Medical Exam Mortgage Protection Insurance With Diabetes

If you don’t want to take a medical exam or need coverage ASAP, consider a non-medical exam mortgage protection policy.

Rates are typically one size fits all or broken up into two groups, depending on the carrier. You will also get an instant decision or one within a few days max.

Type 1 diabetics are a great fit for the non-medical exam mortgage protection policies, as prices will be higher after doing a medical exam policy.

Other Considerations For Diabetes

There are many things that mortgage protection insurance companies will take into account when looking at a potential insured. For diabetes, they may need the following.

• A1C levels
• How long you’ve had diabetes
• When were you diagnosed
• Diabetic complications (If any)
• Height/weight
  
  

Type 1 VS Type 2 Diabetes Mortgage Protection Insurance

People with type 1 diabetes have a harder time getting mortgage protection insurance, especially the non-medical exam policies.

For instance, almost all non-medical exam mortgage protection policies deny anyone who was diagnosed with diabetes before age 35, which is almost all type 1 diabetics.

But that doesn’t mean you don’t have options.

• Type 1 diabetics will have to go through a medical exam no matter what and show that it is controlled
• Type 2 diabetics most of the time qualify for non-medical exam policies but can also go through a medical exam to prove their health and save even more money
