High Blood Pressure and Life Insurance

What insurers look at when you have hypertension.

Controlled BP

If your blood pressure is controlled with medication and your readings are within a normal range, most insurers will offer standard rates with no premium loading.

Uncontrolled BP

If your blood pressure is not well controlled or you are not taking medication, premiums may be higher. A specialist insurer may be needed for very high readings.

What Insurers Ask

Insurers will ask for your recent BP readings, what medication you take, how long you have been diagnosed, and whether you have any related conditions. A broker will call to walk you through it.
