Atrial Fribulation and Medicare Supplement

[SouthernComfort]

Is their any company who will take this 71 year old?

Medico will as long as there have been no surgical procedures for heart in the last two years. Medication is not considered teatment.

 

[SouthernComfort]

since medicine is not considered treatment if no procedure has been performed shouldn't most take the customer? She takes atenolol daily for this.

Called underwriting and since medication has not changed in the last two years am good to go. Thank You!

I had someone approved for this with Loyal. Some companies won't take with coumadin, but they did

Medication is not considered teatment.

Can you point out where it says that in the Medico underwriting guide?

 

[abcsales]

treatment for atrial fib can involve a pacemaker or ablation procedure. If a case is well controlled on meds, it is considered mild.

I had a woman approved for coverage with rheumatoid arthritis which was a knock out question on the application, due to the medications she was taking, she was approved as the meds did not constitute the therapy the company was concerned about---ie IV infusions which would have required them to pay, vs treatment with a med they don't have to pay for.
Makes perfect sense to me

Says it right on the application question itself.
