Tantamount To Fraud?: Exploring Non-Disclosure Of Genetic Information In Life Insurance Applications As Grounds For Policy Rescission, Anya E.R. Prince
Tantamount To Fraud?: Exploring Non-Disclosure Of Genetic Information In Life Insurance Applications As Grounds For Policy Rescission, Anya E.R. Prince
Health Matrix: The Journal of Law-Medicine
Many genetic counselors recommend that individuals secure desired insurance policies, such as life insurance, prior to undergoing predictive genetic testing. It has been argued, however, that this practice is "tantamount to fraud" and that failure to disclose genetic test results, or conspiring to secure a policy before testing, opens an individual up to legal recourse.

If they apply without disclosing the information, they may have committed fraud. The consequences of life insurance fraud are significant.
