I am a senior on dialysis, can I get life insurance coverage?

You can get life insurance coverage as a senior on dialysis. However, it may a bit more expensive than for someone who is not on dialysis.

There are two main types of life insurance policies that are available to people on dialysis:

• Guaranteed issue life insurance: This type of policy does not require a medical exam, so you are guaranteed approval as long as you meet the age and residency requirements. However, the premiums for guaranteed issue life insurance are typically much higher than for traditional term life insurance.

• Guaranteed acceptance life insurance: This type of life insurance policy does not require a medical exam or health questions. This means that you are guaranteed approval for the policy as long as you meet the age and residency requirements. However, guaranteed acceptance life insurance policies typically have higher premiums than traditional life insurance policies.

Here are some of the pros and cons of guaranteed acceptance life insurance:
