Underwriting

We know underwriting is pivotal to your success with customers. That’s why we have highly experienced underwriters, a competitive underwriting philosophy and unique strategies and programs designed to help you get customers the best risk class possible.

Get to know the benefits of full underwriting

Your customers have different needs and budgets, so your recommendations should be different, too. When you recommend full underwriting, you and your customers enjoy the benefits of:
Higher levels of protection
Fully underwritten life insurance offers higher coverage limits and more flexible options compared to simplified issue solutions.
Stronger relationships
When you recommend coverage that fully meets their protection needs, you’re more likely to earn customers’ trust and keep them in your book of business longer.
The right price for the customer
Our underwriting process ensures the solution is priced right based on the customer’s risk class.
A straightforward process
We offer resources to help you understand our underwriting process and what an underwriter looks for, so you and customers can feel confident at every step.

Submit a drop ticket through one of the following methods:

Underwriting: accelerated or traditional
After customers completes Part I and II of the application, the application data determines underwriting requirements and the best class for your applicant: 
  • Accelerated underwriting: No APS or fluids are required.
  • Traditional underwriting: Protective schedules exams, orders medical records and, if needed, requests additional information.
