Burial Insurance with Angina

Having a history of angina will not prevent you from being approved for burial insurance with first-day coverage.

The key to getting the best burial insurance with angina is knowing which burial insurance company looks at your heart condition favorably.

If you or someone you love have angina and are considering applying for a burial insurance policy, keep reading. We will give you an overview of angina burial insurance underwriting and how to get the best rate possible.

What Is Angina?

Angina is a chest pain symptom that occurs when the heart muscle isn’t getting enough blood flow. This can be caused by narrowed arteries due to plaque buildup.

People with angina experience discomfort in the chest, sometimes radiating to the arms, jaw, or back. The pain is often described as tightness, pressure, or squeezing, and can be triggered by physical exertion or stress.

Angina raises a red flag for life insurers because it indicates potential heart issues. The insurance company will consider factors like the severity and frequency of angina attacks, medications or treatments needed, and overall health when approving your life insurance application and premiums.

Can I Get Burial Insurance If I Have Had Angina?

YES: Depending on your overall health and the plans available in your state, you can qualify for first-day coverage insurance with no waiting period.

NO: If you have been hospitalized twice or more in the last two years, you will not qualify for our preferred first-day coverage plan. If you don’t qualify for 1st-day coverage, you will easily qualify for guaranteed-issue burial insurance with a 2-year waiting period.

What Are The Types Of Burial Insurance Available To People Who Have Angina?

FIRST-DAY COVERAGE – This burial insurance covers you from the first day (no waiting period). Your beneficiaries will receive the full death benefit when you pass away. Burial insurance with no waiting period is always cheaper than guaranteed issue life insurance. 

GUARANTEED ISSUE LIFE INSURANCE—This policy does not require a medical exam or health questions. You will be approved regardless of any health issues. The downside is the mandatory two-year waiting period. If you pass away during the waiting period, the policy will only pay out the premiums you have paid plus 7-10% interest (depending on the company).

What Is My Best Insurance Option If I Have Angina?

If you’ve ever been diagnosed, received treatment, or advised to receive treatment and medication for angina, your preferred option should always be a first-day coverage plan.

One company that offers this 1st-day coverage will ask if you’ve been hospitalized two or more times in the past two years. If you have only had one hospitalization in the last two years, you’ll qualify for 1st-day coverage if that plan is available in your state.

If you’ve been hospitalized twice or more in the past two years, you will still qualify for guaranteed-issue whole-life insurance with a waiting period.

Do I Need A Medical Exam To Qualify For Burial Insurance?

Medical exams, blood tests, and urine samples are not required for burial insurance approval.

The best plans with first-day coverage ask some health questions; with these companies, you’ll often get official approval from the insurance company within minutes!

The cost of burial insurance will depend on your:

  • Age
  • Coverage amount
  • Gender
  • General health
