Underwriting Philosophy
Our LTC Underwriting involves evaluation of the applicant’s health history, cognitive status, daily activities, and the ability to perform and maintain activities of daily living (ADL’s) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADL’s). The application identifies impairments that will disqualify the applicant from coverage. An application should NOT be submitted for an applicant who answers “yes” to an insurability question. A policy will not be issued if the applicant is over or under the height and weight guidelines. Multiple health conditions require evaluation on a case by case basis. Higher risk applicants may receive an offer for reduced benefits and/or may require a premium increase. The producer will be prenotified of any offers that are different than as applied, and will be asked to advise if the coverage can be placed. ADL’s IADL’s
