Life Insurance with Asthma or COPD in Boise & Idaho
Inhalers, Severity, ER Visits & Approval Options
Asthma and COPD are common — and very misunderstood in life insurance underwriting.
The good news?
👉 Mild to moderate asthma is usually very insurable.
I’m Chris Antrim, an independent Boise life insurance agent with decades of experience helping people with respiratory conditions find coverage that actually makes sense.
Asthma vs COPD (They’re Treated Very Differently)
Asthma
Often childhood onset
Usually manageable
Many people qualify for standard rates
COPD
More serious
Often linked to smoking
Still insurable depending on severity
What Underwriters Look At
Insurance companies don’t just care that you have sleep apnea — they care about severity, treatment, and compliance.
Here’s what underwriters actually evaluate:
Severity
Inhaler use
ER visits
Hospitalizations
Oxygen use
Smoking history
Pulmonary function tests (if any)
Stable, well-managed asthma is rarely a problem.
