I am considering Lumico for a Med Supp client here in SC. One of the health questions is: " Have you been advised by a physician to have surgery (including cataract or joint replacement surgery), medical tests, injections in a physician’s office, infusions, or therapy that has not been performed?"
Her answer was that she was advised NOT to have an "elective" (her word) hernia operation about three months ago because it was "too risky" (she's 81 and apparently the doctor felt that the risks of such an operation outweigh the reward.)
So she can truthfully answer that with "no," IMO. But might it come back to haunt her? Underwriting is closed for the weekend, so I thought I'd get some opinions here.
