“Things Have Changed – Part Seven” … Commentary by Chris Morgan
What if I was declined for Life Insurance cover years ago because of HIV & Hepatitis B?
Over the last two decades the group of people that have been declined for Life Insurance, more than any group of people – have been those living with both HIV and Hepatitis. When HIV Life Insurance came to market in 2009, this was one group that continued to be specifically excluded by the Insurance Industry.
Even to this day I still have no reasonable explanation as to why this is the case – fast forward to September 2022 and I’m able announce that things have changed. Most of my time in lockdown throughout the pandemic, I spent talking to Life Insurers and Re-Insurers in an effort to find an answer to this problem.
We are are now getting Life Insurance terms for people living with HIV and Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C, along with a host of other medical conditions. This is great news because even if people have been declined for cover in the past, we can now get Life Insurance terms to protect their mortgages and families.
Case Example, Bessie, Age 56, Nurse … HIV & Hepatitis B
Bessie’s case is very similar to the previous one reported about John, as she had been declined by her bank in the past and had almost given up on getting cover. We are pleased that she decided to try again because this time we were able to find Life Insurance terms for her – protecting her mortgage and family. Things have certainly changed for the better.
Even if you were declined for cover by an insurer in the past this does not mean that your are uninsurable forever. We are now able to insurer people with HIV who have also been diagnosed in the past with Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, Tuberculosis, Pneumonia, STIs, Syphilis, Anemia and many other medical conditions.
If You Have Been Declined For Cover By Your Bank or Financial Adviser ? Things have changed and we can help !
Following the pandemic we have been more determined than ever to make sure that everyone is able to access some form of Life Insurance. We believe it is a basic human right for people, to protect their mortgages, debts and families.
We have encountered many people who have been adversely affected by the decisions of Life Insurance companies. We believe more than ever in “Life Insurance for All” and are able to guarantee access to some form of Life Insurance for everyone aged between 18-64.
