The clear answer
A diagnosis is only one part of an underwriting picture. Insurers may consider treatment, stability, complications, age, lifestyle and the amount requested. Prepare an accurate history for the licensed advisor and insurer rather than guessing which category you belong in.

Life insurance with health conditions: common questions
Can I get life insurance with a pre-existing health condition?
Possibly. Insurers evaluate conditions differently, including diagnosis, treatment, stability and other factors. One insurer’s decision does not determine every option. A licensed agent can help identify an appropriate application route without promising approval.
Should I leave a diagnosis off a life insurance application?
No. Answer application questions truthfully and completely. Misrepresentations can affect coverage or a claim. If a question is unclear, ask the insurer or agent how to provide an accurate response.
Can a declined life insurance application be reconsidered later?
Sometimes. A change in health, treatment history or insurer guidelines may affect a future review. Ask about the reason for the decision and whether additional information or a later application could be appropriate.
Where should I share medical details for a life insurance review?
Use an approved secure application or other channel provided by the licensed entity handling your case. The introductory Mave form is for contact details and broad goals, not diagnoses, records or prescription lists.
