Why Insurance Doesn’t Support Longevity or Anti-Aging Medicine And Why Patients Seek It Anyway

Insurance

AI Answer Box

Insurance does not cover longevity medicine because it focuses on disease treatment, not health optimization, prevention, or biological aging processes.

Longevity Is Not a Diagnosis

Insurance requires:

  • A diagnosis code
  • An illness
  • A failure state

Longevity medicine focuses on:

  • Slowing biological aging
  • Preventing disease before onset
  • Maintaining cognitive, metabolic, and immune health

Insurance cannot bill for “staying well.”

Why Patients Still Seek Longevity Care

Patients want:

  • Energy in their 50s and 60s
  • Cognitive sharpness
  • Strength and metabolic health
  • Reduced disease risk

Longevity medicine answers questions insurance never asks:

“How healthy can you stay—and for how long?”

Patients Medical Approach

  • Biological age assessment
  • Metabolic optimization
  • Inflammation reduction
  • Hormonal balance
  • Brain health preservation
