The cheapest quote on a calculator is only useful if the insurer will actually offer it after reviewing your health.
Different insurers assess conditions such as anxiety, diabetes, asthma, heart problems, cancer history and higher BMI differently. Applying to the wrong insurer first can lead to an unnecessary loading, postponement or decline.
If you already know that your application involves a medical condition, complete our 60-second Medical Questionnaire. Just tell us the condition and a few basic details, and we’ll send the appropriate follow-up questions.
