2. How much will it cost?
Can Individuals with Migraine Qualify for Life Insurance?
Yes, most individuals with Migraine will be able to qualify for traditional life insurance, the type of insurance which requires a medical exam.
But you won’t be able to get this rating through your auto insurance company.
Best Case Scenario – If the migraine attacks are idiopathic (cause unknown) and has been diagnosed for more than a year, it gets a “Standard” rating. It is, however, a requirement that there is clearance from a physician that the migraine headaches are not in any way associated with other conditions like meningitis, glaucoma or brain tumor.

If you’re unsure if you qualify for a “Standard” rating to quote yourself, please see the questions below:
1. How many years since you were diagnosed with Migraine?
If Migraine has just been diagnosed and the probable cause unidentified it may have to wait for at least one year to be qualified for the “Standard” rating. Longevity is important with Migraine because it establishes the frequency, intensity and duration of the symptoms of headache. It also helps identify the trigger factors that help with management and control.
2. How often do you experience Migraine headaches?
Frequent symptoms of headache that are severe in nature that also manifests other symptoms like phonophobia or photophobia may have other medical causes that may require further evaluation before a rating can be given.
3. Is your Migraine headache controlled by medication?
The need for medications like analgesics and NSAID’s will help control the symptoms of pulsating headache. It is important to establish successful management of the pain because poor action of medications may be a sign of an underlying disease process that needs further evaluation.
4. Have you had any relevant diagnostic tests in the past 12 months?
Recent laboratory and diagnostic tests such as a retinoscopy, head X-ray or MRI will eliminate the possibility of the Migraine headache to be associated with other diseases like meningitis, glaucoma or worse a subarachnoid bleeding.
5. Are you aware of the trigger factors that start your Migraine attack?
Knowledge of the trigger attacks shows your commitment in the prevention of flare Migraine attacks and this may qualify you for a “Standard” rating.
If you are still unsure which rating class you fall under, we suggest getting a life insurance quote at multiple substandard ratings, so you can familiarize yourself with the range of substandard premiums.
