All insurance policies have limitations in what they cover. One such limitation in long term disability (LTD) coverage is for pre-existing medical conditions. It is preferable that an individual who is seeking LTD policy coverage has had no prior medical concerns, but not everyone’s health is ideal. As our NY long term disability lawyers know, having a pre-existing condition is a variable, and how it exactly will impact the individual claimant is a matter involving the nature of the condition, the type of coverage being sought and the underwriters of the insurance company involved.
