Does Life Insurance Cover Death By Cancer? 
Yes it certainly can . The application will include questions regarding your health history and current health status . If the policy is medically underwritten , then your Doctor -LRB- s -RRB- will be contacted to provide a detailed attending physician 's report used to substanciate your health and history . You need to work with your Insurance Professional and ask specifically about any pre condition clauses or contract limitations with regard to pre existing conditions . But if you were underwritten for and received a Life Insurance policy and met all of the conditions of the company issuing it at the time , and then years later were diagnosed with cancer , baring any other circumstances , if you died as a result of your illmess , the company would pay the proceeds to your designated beneficiary .
