Obtaining life insurance with type 1 Gaucher disease is possible but often a struggle, and information found online is outdated and difficult to understand. As we know best, living with type 1 Gaucher non-neuropathic disease and receiving treatment does not shorten our lifespan. However, obtaining life insurance can still be a struggle despite the importance of having this type of insurance to protect our families and loved ones. The Gaucher Community Alliance has worked with Underwriters Brokerage Service (UBS) to enable patients to apply for and obtain life insurance despite a diagnosis of type 1 Gaucher disease. To start the process, download and complete this form and send it to Bob Katzen at or fax number (412)-261-0740.
The Gaucher Community Alliance has no connection or affiliation to UBS and does not guarantee the successful application for life insurance. GCA is not a licensed insurance broker and offers this information to the community solely as a convenience. All questions and comments regarding the application for life insurance should be directed to Bob Katzen at 412-586-5045 or .
