Asperger Syndrome - Insurance

[Blackandwhite]

Hello all, does Aspergers Syndrome effect chances of accident and health insurance ??

Only your insurance company can tell you for sure.

While you can be sure a sufferer would not be covered for anything related to the condition because it is pre-existing, treatments such as communications and social skills training or cognitive therapy will be excluded.

However should the sufferer break his leg, then cover will be valid.

If in doubt declare it to the insurance company, if it's a problem they will tell you.

Thank you for your thoughts and advice

Usually the way insurance policies handle pre-existing conditions is to exclude anything rlted to that condition from coverage.

As most insurance policies don't cover mental problems anyway the impact of excluding Aspergers as a pre-exisitng condition is likely moot.
