Financial Security: Suggests stability and protection.

Family Protection

Life coverage is more than just a policy; it’s a promise of security and stability for your family. Having a life insurance policy in place before any genetic conditions are identified can protect against potential future exclusions or rate increases. Payout can help cover everyday expenses, pay off debts, and more.

Affordable Coverage

Policies can be tailored to cover the critical period from pregnancy planning through the early years of the child's life, adjusting as per the family's needs. Having insurance provides peace of mind knowing that in case of severe health outcomes, the family's financial future is secure.

Ensuring Your Family's Future:

LetsTalkPPCM - The Importance of Life Coverage

As a family who has navigated the challenges of a life threatening diagnosis like Peripartum Cardiomyopathy (PPCM), you understand the value of resilience and the importance of safeguarding your loved ones. 


With the rising incidences of PPCM and other near-misses, term or whole insurance serves as an essential tool for financial planning and risk management.


Importance of Life Coverage for Families:


Financial Protection for the Family:

Income Replacement: If the primary breadwinner passes away, life insurance provides financial support to the family, ensuring they can maintain their standard of living.


Debt Coverage: It helps cover any outstanding debts such as mortgages, car loans, and personal loans, preventing financial burden from falling on the surviving family members.


Education Costs: Life insurance can ensure that children’s educational needs are met, securing their future even in the absence of a parent.


Covering Medical Costs:

Unexpected Medical Expenses: Life insurance policies can sometimes include riders that cover critical illnesses or terminal illness, providing funds to cover substantial medical expenses.


Peace of Mind: Knowing that there is financial backup in case of severe illness can relieve significant stress, allowing the family to focus on recovery and care rather than financial worries.


Addressing the Issue of Genetic Testing:

Potential Discrimination: Genetic testing before obtaining insurance can sometimes lead to discrimination by insurers, who may refuse coverage or charge higher premiums based on genetic predispositions.


Future-Proofing: Having a life insurance policy in place before any genetic conditions are identified can protect against potential future exclusions or rate increases.


Why Life Insurance is Still Important Even if Mom Cannot Be Covered:

Spouse's Coverage: Ensuring that at least one parent has adequate life insurance is crucial. If spouse is covered, it provides a safety net for the family, reducing financial risk in case of an untimely life threatening condition.


Financial Stability: The insurance payout can help cover everyday expenses, pay off debts, and provide for the family’s future needs.


Emotional Security: Financial stability allows the family to focus on coping and healing emotionally without the added stress of financial hardship.


Conclusion:

While it’s unfortunate that mom may cannot be covered, securing life coverage for spouse or any other insurable family member remains a critical step in safeguarding the family's financial future. It provides essential financial support, ensures that the family can handle medical expenses, and protects against potential genetic discrimination. 


This strategic approach helps maintain financial stability and offers peace of mind, knowing that the family is protected in the face of life's uncertainties.


We are committed to helping you find the best solution to safeguard your family's well-being. Thank you for considering this important step towards securing your family’s well-being.


  • Be Honest: Always provide truthful and complete information about your health history.
  • Shop Around: Different insurers have different underwriting guidelines, so it’s beneficial to compare quotes from multiple companies.
  • Consider Specialized Insurers: Some insurers specialize in covering individuals with certain pre-existing conditions.
  • Look for No-Medical Exam Policies: These policies may be an option, but be aware of the higher costs and lower coverage amounts.
  • Work with a Broker: An insurance broker can help find policies that best suit your health profile and financial needs.

Living your best life means knowing your options.

 If you're on a budget and just want to provide coverage for your family, term life plans are often the most cost-effective option. 


On the other hand, if you're looking for lifelong protection with more investment potential, then whole life insurance may be a better choice.

Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach out to admins@letstalkppcm.org if you cannot find an answer to your question. 

Answer: A pre-existing condition is any medical condition or illness that an individual has been diagnosed with or received treatment for before applying for a new insurance policy.


Answer: Not necessarily. It depends on the severity and type of the condition. Some conditions may result in higher premiums, exclusions, or the need for additional medical examinations, but many insurers offer policies to individuals with pre-existing conditions.


Answer: Insurers are particularly cautious about conditions like cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and mental health disorders, among others. The concern level varies based on the condition’s severity, control, and the treatment regimen.


Answer: Yes, having a pre-existing condition can lead to higher premiums because it represents a higher risk to the insurer. The exact increase depends on the nature and severity of the condition and the insurer's underwriting guidelines.


Answer: Yes, but it may depend on the condition and the treatment. Some insurers may wait until your condition is stabilized or treatment is completed, while others may offer coverage with higher premiums or specific exclusions.


Answer: No, life insurance policies cannot be canceled due to the development of new health conditions after the policy is in force, as long as the policy remains in good standing (i.e., premiums are paid on time).
