Client Honesty and Cooperation Underwriting relies heavily on the application; therefore, complete and thor-ough answers to the questions are necessary.
6 Please stress this and prepare the applicant for the telephone interview which will be brief, pleasant, professionally handled, and asking any health questions stress the importance for truthful and complete answers, including tobacco usage that will match information already in the applicant s medical records, national prescription database, MIB, MORE COMPLETE INFORMATION you can provide on the application significantly REDUCES the need to order medical records and speeds up issue Good Field Underwriting or an agent with a history of submitting applications with non-admitted medical information will likely receive special attention when their applications are reviewed by the Underwriting Department. Medical records on those applicants will be requested until the Underwriting Department believes that agent has corrected their field underwriting problems Do not let poor field underwriting contribute to unnecessary delays in both the issuing of your business and the payment of your REQUIRED FORMS / KEY ADMINISTRATIVE GUIDELINES Incomplete or unsigned applications applications that are not completed in their entirety or are missing required signatures will be amended or returned for completion.
7 Please make sure that all blanks are filled in and the application has been reviewed and signed by the Owner and Proposed insured. Also, remember to include your agent number. Terminal Illness Accelerated Benefit Riders Disclosure Statement, Form No. 3136 must be presented to the applicant and the agent must certify that it has been presented. Accelerated Benefit Confined Care Rider Disclosure Statement, Form No. 3134 must be presented to the applicant and the agent must certify that it has been presented when applying for the Immediate Death Benefit plan. HIPAA, Form No. 9526 must be submitted with each application. Replacement Form (if required) complete all replacement requirements as per individual state insurance replacement regulations. All changes must be crossed out and initialed by Proposed Insured. No white outs or erasures are permitted on the application. Applications for Return of Premium Plan While completing the health questions on the application with the proposed insured if you encounter a yes answer in the ROP section, that is the last health question that must be answered.
8 After that initial yes answer, the health questions following may be left unanswered. (NOTE: When the ROP plan is being applied for, a telephone interview is not required). Re-Writes on Same Insured If a second application is written on the same individual (1) within 6 months of the first policy being issued or (2) which increases the face amount to the maximum allowable for that age, medical records will be ordered on that individual by the Underwriting Department. Initial Premium The first full modal premium is required with the application, unless the initial premium is bank draft. The initial premium can be submitted in the form of applicant s personal check, E-Check, or bank draft for 1st premium. See page 11 in this guide for E-Check procedures. Applications on Juveniles (Issue Ages 0-17): If the grandparent or legal guardian applies for coverage on a child we need a copy of the guardianship papers.
9 All children within the family should be insured equally. We do not insure juveniles for more than their parents or legal guardians. Parents/Legal Guardians must have life coverage in force when applying for coverage on children. Juvenile questionnaires (Form No. 9825) are required to be submitted with the applications. 6 TELEPHONE INTERVIEW AT POINT-OF-SALEP rior to a policy being issued, the Proposed Insured must answer personal medical history questions via a tele- phone interview if the applicant is between the ages of 40 and 85. The interview is designed to confirm the answers given on the application. These telephone interviews should be completed point-of-sale before you leave the client s home. The applicant must always complete the telephone interview without assistance from the agent or another person. This telephone interview (conducted by Apptical) is automatically required on most applications based on the following chart: ProductIssue AgesImmediateReturn of PremiumAdvantage0-39 NoneNone40-49 YesYesAdvantage 50 Plus50-85 YesNoneStep 1: After fully completing the application, initiate the personal medical history telephone interview by calling Apptical s toll free number (877-351-1773).
