Is Hepatitis C Tested For Life Insurance? 
Hepatitis C is not tested for on a life insurance exam , per se . However , the blood test used for life insurance exams does test liver function by measuring liver enzymes . A high value for AST , SGOT , ALT , and/or GGT could cause the underwriter to question the presence of hepatitis C. Medical records may need to be ordered , or you might be required to have further testing before being able to obtain a medically underwritten policy . If you go into the application process knowing you have hepatitis C , be sure to tell your agent so they can find you a policy for which you qualify at the best possible price .
