Can I buy insurance after cancer?
When can I buy life insurance after cancer? The longer you've been in remission, the better chance you'll get approved for traditional life insurance. Life insurance companies may want to wait three or five years—or longer—after your treatment ends before they'll offer you coverage.
Is cancer considered a pre-existing condition?
A health problem, like asthma, diabetes, or cancer, you had before the date that new health coverage starts. Insurance companies can't refuse to cover treatment for your pre-existing condition or charge you more.
