How Do Insurance Companies Assess Epileptics?
Epilepsy is a very complicated illness with a number of varying forms that each represent different risks to the sufferer. As with all pre-existing conditions, insurance underwriters will look at how severe and how well your Epilepsy is controlled.
Other factors that will be taken into account include how long it has been since your last symptoms, as well as how regularly you go to the doctor for check-ups. Insurance companies will look to categorise you into 1 of the main types of Epilepsy. The different types of epilepsy are listed as follows:
- Symptomatic Epilepsy – Epilepsy is referred to as symptomatic when the cause behind it is known. The most common causes involve head injuries, strokes, tumours, or infections such as meningitis.
- Idiopathic Epilepsy – Idiopathic Epilepsy is a result of genetic tendencies within the patient. There is no observable cause of the illness. In this instance, the main determinants for insurers will be how well you control and treat your epilepsy.
- Cryptogenic Epilepsy – Cryptogenic Epilepsy refers to Epilepsy with no identifiable cause. There is no evidence of a metabolic problem as well as no evidence of structural issues with the brain.
- Focal Epilepsy – Focal seizures result in complex partial motor seizures. These seizures can often manifest themselves in the form of a hallucination, lack of awareness, and strange, repetitive behaviour.
