Do you have a client who has suffered a stroke? If so, one of our A+ carrier’s underwriting guidelines can help you get the offer your client needs.

A stroke is an interruption of the blood supply to any part of the brain. It is sometimes called a “brain attack” and is otherwise known as a CVA or cerebrovascular accident. The symptoms of a stroke depend on what part of the brain is damaged. There are two types of strokes: an Ischemic stroke, which is the most common and occurs when blood flow to the brain is blocked by blood clots or plaque, and a Hemorrhagic stroke occurs when a blood vessel bursts in the brain.

When it comes to underwriting, this carrier follows a responsibly aggressive approach and looks closely at controlled impairments.
