Looking to get life insurance, but my medical info was just evaluated and my premium went up from an expected $900/year to $2500.
Can I appeal in any way?
Can I shop around and apply for life insurance with other companies and hope they view my medical history in a more favorable light?
All my blood tests and family history put me at very low risk but I do have an autonomic disorder. I was originally diagnosed with an autonomic issue that is treatable and not life threatening in the least (pots), but that was recently updated to small fiber neuropathy which also is not life threatening. One of the medications I took for pots is an SRRI which is a common medication to treat pots. I was dinged for both the autonomic issue and they said I have anxiety because of the SRRI I take. However, I don't have anxiety.
The options are to lower the coverage, suck it up and pay the expensive premium, or shop around more to try and find a better deal.
Any ideas?
