In some cases life insurance underwriting just hangs out and doesn’t change much over the years. That has been fairly true of prostate cancer life insurance since I wrote my first post on the subject back in 2007, until the last few months. What follows is an...

I’ve talked before about Pan American Life Insurance and the fact that they will underwrite foreign nationals, mostly from Central and South America and the Caribbean. The only caveat is that they have to travel to Florida to complete the application and exam....

What a summer, huh? I heard on the news the other day that somewhere in Oklahoma had set a new all time record high for any state over a full month. We’re talking hotter than Arizona!! I’m pretty blessed to live at 7000′ in Colorado where yesterday...

Whenever we talk about breast cancer life insurance the real meat of the discussion revolves around stage and grade. Just like the five year survival rate, life insurance for breast cancer survivors is a far better deal with an early stage and low grade. We know that...

I love to golf. There are very few things that carry that same feeling as a well hit drive or sinking a long putt (or for me not missing a short one), but when we can get a case approved at better than standard rates for someone with a history of melanoma, well,...

I’ve often mentioned that shopping life insurance cases before sending a formal application is important. It saves time, avoids disappointment and, from a customer service standpoint, makes the whole process of approving impaired risk life insurance far easier...

I was on vacation with my wife and granddaughter recently, a “ROAD TRIP”. 3300 miles in 10 days from Colorado through Utah, Idaho, Oregon to Washington, back through Idaho to Montana, south through Yellowstone and back to Colorado. It was a great time....

Not a week goes that I am not called by someone with a history of cancer. It can be as common and treatable as prostate cancer or breast cancer, or as unpredictable as multiple myeloma. They would like to have life insurance, just like anyone, but insurance quotes...

We’ve covered a lot in the past on the life insurance underwriting of prostate cancer. Prostate cancer is one of those good news/bad news events in the cancer world. Prostate cancer is the second most prevalent cancer among men, surpassed only by skin cancer. It...

I worked on an interesting case several years ago, a doctor who had a history of high grade non Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. He had undergone chemo and radiation and had not had a recurrence in several years, I think it was six at the time. What made the case a little...

The most common type of cancer among men and women is skin cancer. By far the majority of those cases are rarely life threatening types like basal cell carcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma. The least common of the three is the most feared and has one of the highest...
