If you have Mitral Valve Prolapse and need life insurance, we can help
Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) life insurance approvals are possible when you follow this guide.
Quick Navigation:
Overview
Mitral Valve Prolapse (MVP) is a condition where the flaps on your mitral valve fail to close properly.
It’s common, with roughly 3 million Americans having MVP.
Mitral Valve Prolapse by itself is a minor issue for underwriters.
That changes if MVP is accompanied by significant mitral valve regurgitation, abnormal EKG, or arrhythmias.
Mitral Valve Prolapse Underwriting
Finding life insurance with heart conditions requires expert underwriting knowledge that we have.
If there are no other heart issues, MVP by itself is not a major concern for life insurance underwriters.
The “right” life insurance company may offer you their standard life insurance rates.
If there are other heart issues such as mitral valve insufficiency or mitral valve regurgitation,
Underwriters will need to know what those health issues are in order to determine your life insurance rate.
Those underwriting issues would be the determining factor for your life insurance rate.
Underwriting Questions
We need to know:
- When were you diagnosed with MVP?
- Was an echocardiogram performed to make this diagnosis?
- Is your condition stable or is it progressing?
- Is there an underlying cause for the MVP?
- Do you have any symptoms such as:
- Chest pains?
- Palpitations?
- Dizziness?
- Shortness of breath?
- Do you have an irregular heartbeat?
- Is there any heart enlargement?
- Do you have any history of atrial fibrillation?
- Do you have any other heart issues discovered? Angina, arrhythmias, etc.
