Quick answer · AFib & pacemakers
Which life insurance fits someone with AFib or a pacemaker?
Controlled atrial fibrillation and a well-functioning pacemaker are among the friendlier cardiac situations in underwriting. Most applicants qualify for simplified issue whole life with day-one coverage, and fully underwritten term is realistic when there is no other heart disease.
Which coverage paths can you discuss with a licensed agent?
- 1
Simplified issue whole life
Stable AFib on medication, no recent hospitalization.
- 2
Fully underwritten term or whole life
Isolated AFib with no coronary disease and a need for a larger benefit.
- 3
Graded benefit whole life
Recent ablation, device implant, or a hospital stay in the last year.
Which coverage limitations should you check?
Declines are uncommon unless AFib is stacked with heart failure or a recent cardiac event.
When can life insurance coverage start?
Day-one full coverage is a normal outcome here at the right carrier.
