  (Download Free Healthy Living Guide)


It is important that you have a knowledgeable and reliable insurance agent because jurisdictions have laws and policies differ that on specific items. Mental illness historically has been excluded from most policies.  Recently, more policies include mental illness coverage but with limitations.  The benefits are usually much lower than physical illnesses and a stated percentage of the benefit paid for other types of medical care is included.

Common exclusions and limitations: 
 
Both disability income and medical expense policies limit or exclude coverage for certain types of injuries or illness.  There is a difference between limitations and exclusions.  The mental illness policy limitations we discussed above is an example of a limitation, whereas an exclusion is completely omitted from any coverage.

Pre-existing conditions as defined by your policy and dictated by state law

Hernia repair, however the growing trend is to cover the condition
