Heart Surgery Life Insurance Underwriting
When you’ve had open heart surgery, we need to know the following to provide accurate quotes.
- How old were you when you had open heart surgery?
- How many arteries and which ones were bypassed?
- Did you have angioplasty (stents) completed?
- If yes, how many and which arteries?
- Have you completed cardiac rehab and follow-up testing?
- What tests were performed? (stress test, echocardiogram, cardiac catheter)
- What was your left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) if known?
- Were the results from the follow-up stress test normal or abnormal?
- Were any other heart issues discovered? Angina, arrhythmias, atrial fibrillation.
- Do you have high blood pressure?
- Do you have any other health issues, such as diabetes?
- What medications do you take?
The above are the basic underwriting questions we ask about heart bypass surgery. There may be some additional questions based on your answers.
Heart vessels
- Left Main or left coronary artery (LCA)
- Left anterior descending (LAD)
- diagonal branches (D1, D2)
- septal branches
- Circumflex (Cx)
- Marginal branches (M1,M2)
- Right coronary artery
- Acute marginal branch (AM)
- AV node branch
- Posterior descending artery (PDA)
Those conditions affect underwriting if you’ve had other heart problems like atrial fibrillation, pacemaker, ventricular arrhythmias, stroke, etc.
Life insurers look at the severity and damage to your heart, the number of arteries affected, treatment received, if you’ve had a heart attack, and your current health when determining the availability and pricing of life insurance.
Let us know about positive changes, such as exercise, weight loss, and quitting tobacco.
