What is Atrial Fibrillation?
Atrial fibrillation (Afib) is a type of heart arrhythmia or an irregular heartbeat that, when present, causes the heart’s two upper chambers (the atria)to beat rapidly and irregularly.
If your heart can’t pump blood properly, you may have an increased risk of blood clots and stroke.
The CDC estimates that 12 million people in the US will have atrial fibrillation by 2030.
Afib will have a negative impact on your life insurance rates, but you should know that some life insurance companies specialize in high-risk medical conditions like atrial fibrillation.
How Does Atrial Fibrillation Affect Life Insurance?
While a small percentage of people will qualify for a “preferred” rating, the majority of applicants end up with a “standard plus” – “table 4” rating if they apply to the right company.
A table 4 rating adds 100% to the price.
That’s where we can help.
We use a quick quote process that gives you underwriting feedback in about three business days from all companies specializing in atrial fibrillation.
We summarize your individual medical history so that the quotes you receive are accurate based on your medical history.
When diagnosed with Afib, it’s essential to know the following to get accurate quotes.
- How old were you when diagnosed with atrial fibrillation?
- What type of Afib do you have?
- Paroxysmal (Intermittent)
- Persistent Afib
- Permanent Afib (Chronic)
- What is the cause of your atrial fibrillation?
- Have you had surgery, or has surgery been recommended?
- Do you have any other heart conditions, such as a heart attack history or high blood pressure?
- Have you ever had a stroke or TIA?
- Do you have any current symptoms?
- What types of cardiac testing have you had to diagnose and monitor AFib?
- What medications and dosages do you take?
- What tests were performed? (stress test, echocardiogram, cardiac catheter)
- Were any other heart issues discovered? Angina, arrhythmias, atrial fibrillation.
- Do you have any other health issues like asthma?
- What medications do you take?
Life insurers look at the severity of the Afib, treatment received, and your current health when determining the availability and pricing of life insurance.
Let us know about positive changes, such as exercise, weight loss, and quitting tobacco, as we can use these to help improve ratings.
How to Find the Right Life Insurance Coverage if You Have Afib
As mentioned, we use a quick quote process to shop for underwriting offers.
The benefit is that you’ll know which life insurance companies will be best for your medical history in a few days.
At that point, we can provide you with life insurance quotes based on your medical history, whether you want term life insurance, universal life, or whole life insurance.

There’s no catch. With our service, there is never any obligation or pressure. We give you the information you need to make an informed decision about your life insurance.
Our experience underwriting high-risk medical conditions ensure you have the most competitive rates available based on your individual life insurance needs.
Do All Companies Underwrite Afib the same?
Definitely not!
Only a handful of life insurance companies available do an excellent job underwriting atrial fibrillation.
Most other companies will decline you or provide you with an expensive rate that is more than you should pay.
How Do Life Insurers Know About Your Afib?
As part of the underwriting process, life insurance companies ask about your health and whether you have any heart issues.
If you previously applied for life insurance, it’s almost certain that the prior company notified the MIB about your condition.
It doesn’t matter if you’ve been declined due to atrial fibrillation in the past. We have often found that the reason for prior declines is due to applying to the wrong company.
Final Words
If you have atrial fibrillation and need life insurance, we can help you get the coverage you need at an affordable rate, even if you’ve previously been declined for life insurance.
There is never any obligation or pressure with our life insurance service.
