Understanding High BMI Life Insurance
Pre Existing Condition Life Insurance is an essential component of financial planning, ensuring that your loved ones are protected and financially secure in the event of your passing. However, obtaining life insurance can be challenging for individuals with high Body Mass Index (BMI). At Sports Financial Services, we understand that your High BMI should not be a barrier to securing the coverage you deserve. Our specialist advisers will be happy to discuss the options you have available for high BMI life insurance.
How does BMI affect your life insurance?
Body Mass Index is a key factor that life insurance companies consider when determining eligibility for cover. A higher BMI is often associated with increased risks of health conditions which can lead to higher premiums.
Can those with high BMI get life insurance?
There are companies that provide life insurance cover to individuals with high BMI. If you have high BMI, it is important to disclose this information to the insurer when applying for high BMI life insurance.
Individuals with high BMI may face higher life insurance premiums due to the condition being considered pre-existing and carrying various health risks. This may result in insurers charging higher premiums to account for the increased likelihood of payouts.
Different insurers assess risk differently, so exploring different options with a specialist adviser at Sports Financial Services may lead you to finding more favourable terms.
When discussing high BMI life insurance, we will take you through some key steps and request certain information about your health and lifestyle (e.g., smoking and alcohol consumption.
