Life Insurance

The information below relates to patients affected by lung cancer. Please bear in mind that The Insurance Surgery is also happy to assist your family and friends and will make a donation to the Foundation for all new policies.

Unfortunately if you have suffered from lung cancer and are applying for life insurance you will almost certainly have to wait for a reasonable period -typically five years - after all treatment has finished before you will be considered for life insurance.


Different insurance companies look at lung cancer in different ways. Some insurers will refuse cover to all lung cancer sufferers while others take a more sympathetic view. So how do you know which ones to apply to?

By using the services of The Insurance Surgery you will increase your chances of obtaining competitive cover. The Insurance Surgery has specialised in obtaining life insurance for clients with illnesses since 1999.

The Insurance Surgery is a completely independent company that has researched the whole marketplace to find out which insurance companies offer the most competitive cover for clients with cancer. Using their years of experience and contacts with senior medical underwriters they will be able to advise whether they think obtaining cover will be possible and how much the cover is likely to cost.
