Med Supp for clients who use insulin

[RunnerDude]

Does anyone know of a Medigap company that will accept clients who currently use insulin? I was thinking there was one that had a "standard" rating.

No heart condition's under 50 units many carriers Cigna, Westen united to come to mind

Over 50 under 100, Bankers standard I have heard Everest also

If there are other things be specific especially anything heart.

If there is over 100 units or too much 2ndday issues Like heart or neuropathy, Then level 2 AARP or Cigna

@goillini52 and @vic120 offered good direction.

While insulin is an issue more often than not you can miss an opportunity if they have other issues related (or not related) to diabetes. Cholesterol, heart med's can be a challenge. Neuropathy almost always a deal breaker.

Point is, don't just stop asking questions about insulin. Ask about other med's as well.

Most carriers do the bulk of their underwriting from Rx history which can be verified vs relying on the answers to health questions.

Yep, insuln by itself isn't a problem, but diabetes and heart are. Bankers Fidelity and Everest are good for that combo. Bankers Fidelity for diabetic neuropathy.
