The above are the basic underwriting questions we ask about strokes. There may be additional questions based on your answers, and it’s okay if you do not know all the answers.

Life insurers look at the severity of the stroke, the extent of your recovery, follow-up treatment, and positive changes since the stroke (ex., Exercise, weight loss, hypertension control, and quitting tobacco).

How RiskQuoter Helps Stroke Survivors

After you’ve had a stroke, there is a postponement period before life insurance companies will consider your application.

That postponement period generally runs 6-12 months after the stroke, but it could be longer or shorter depending on your medical history.

Here’s How Our Service Works:

We’ll review your health history with you and ask you the above questions.

Once we have your health history, we use a quick quote to shop for underwriting offers.

A quick quote is a medical summary we use to shop for underwriting offers.

The benefit for you is that we’ll have underwriting feedback from companies specializing in stroke underwriting in 3-5 days.

At that point, we can provide you with life insurance quotes based on your individual medical history, whether you want term life insurance, universal life, or whole life insurance.

What’s the catch?

There’s no catch. With our service, there is never any obligation or pressure. We give you the information you need to make an informed decision about your life insurance.

After we discuss your quotes, tell us to close your file if you’re no longer interested.

Final Words about Strokes

Life insurance after a stroke is available with the right companies, but you must work with an expert who understands how high-risk life insurance works.

Something else to mention is that rates tend to improve over time as you recover. For many clients, we may be able to get you one rate today and improve on that rate over the next 12-36 months.
