Rheumatoid Arthritis life insurance

People who suffer from Rheumatoid Arthritis looking for life insurance will generally be able to get cover fairly easily in our experience and can be accepted at standard rates. Rheumatoid Arthritis life insurance terms will generally depend on a number of factors, including:

  • When you were diagnosed
  • How often you have flair ups
  • Severity of your symptoms
  • Medication / treatment (e.g. name and dosage)

For people with mild symptoms and good control (mild medication), it should be possible to get cover for Rheumatoid Arthritis life insurance with no additional premium loading (standard rates). Most individuals we see who suffer from Rheumatoid Arthritis looking for life insurance are able to get the cover they need with no loading or possibly a small loading to the premium.

Rheumatoid Arthritis life insurance premiums for more severe symptoms which could include more regular and stronger flare ups requiring stronger treatment / medication. Anyone with Rheumatoid Arthritis having higher levels if treatment such as Mothotrexate, Leflunomide, Sulfasalazine etc. (Disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs or DMARD’s) or Biological Treatments will usually find that there will be a loading to their Rheumatoid Arthritis life insurance premiums.

If you have applied for Rheumatoid Arthritis life insurance in the past and especially if you have had cover accepted on special terms then it could be worth reviewing your cover based on your current circumstances and potential improvements in underwriting.

Rheumatoid Arthritis critical illness cover

Critical illness cover for people with Rheumatoid Arthritis is also generally readily available and usually on favourable terms / rates, especially for people with mild symptoms. As with life insurance, Rheumatoid Arthritis critical illness cover will usually require supporting evidence from your GP or specialist and some additional information regarding your condition. As with most applications for critical illness cover where there is some sort of medical history or disclosure, terms for Rheumatoid Arthritis critical illness cover can also be offered on special terms which could mean exclusions for your condition and any related conditions and/or some kind of additional loading to your premium.

For anyone with more severe / regular flare ups and taking higher levels of or more serious medication there will probably be an additional loading and/or special terms imposed for Rheumatoid Arthritis critical illness cover.

If you have applied for Rheumatoid Arthritis critical illness cover in the past and had cover accepted on special terms or even been postponed / declined cover then it will usually be worth reviewing your cover to see if premiums can be reduced or terms can be improved.

Rheumatoid Arthritis income protection

Generally it can be more difficult to get cover for Rheumatoid Arthritis income protection due to the related musculoskeletal issues and the amount of claims for income protection specifically relating to musculoskeletal problems. Due to the increased risks of these types of complications and problems, we find that most mainstream insurance providers would not offer Rheumatoid Arthritis income protection cover and therefore we would usually need to apply to specialist insurers. If cover was available then it would usually be accepted on the basis of special terms being imposed and usually with some sort of exclusions to the policy.
