Chronic kidney disease, including cases involving dialysis, is one of the more significant health factors underwriters consider — but it's far from an automatic decline.
What underwriters typically consider
- Stage of kidney disease
- Whether dialysis is currently required
- Related conditions, especially diabetes and high blood pressure
- Whether a transplant has occurred and how long ago
What's typically realistic
Earlier-stage kidney disease without dialysis may still qualify for simplified issue coverage in some cases. For dialysis patients or more advanced stages, guaranteed issue final expense coverage is generally the most realistic path — no health questions required, though usually with a graded benefit period for the first two to three years.
