Li Jun, 50, applies for a $250,000 critical illness (CI) insurance policy with his insurance...

Since Li Jun manages hypertension, a common condition that increases the risk profile, insurers frequently apply apremium rating, meaning higher premiums, due to the elevated health risk. Exclusions are less typical for well-managed chronic conditions, and refusal is unlikely for a single, manageable health issue. Given his overall good health otherwise, the insurer is likely to issue the policy with an increased premium to account for the added risk, as per the LLQP guidelines on underwriting for critical illness insurance​​.
