SUPPORTING YOU TO DO BUSINESS REMOTELY
Our reflexive underwriting system, within Quote & Apply, and our eSignature service mean that you can complete an application from start to finish electronically. This removes the need to be face-to-face with your clients. We have had really positive feedback from brokers who have used these facilities already and hope that they can be of help to more of you now, while conducting business remotely.
Use our reflexive underwriting system
First of all, what does reflexive mean?
Reflexive underwriting works great when you have access to your client on the phone while you are gathering application information. It means as you fill out the application with your client over the phone, our system will automatically respond with any follow-up underwriting questions that are required.
So, if a medical disclosure is made, the online system will respond by asking a series of required follow-up questions related to the condition. You’ll save time as you will only be prompted to answer the necessary follow up questions. It also means that you don’t need to have condition questionnaires to hand.
In a high proportion of cases, this can result in an immediate decision without referral to an underwriter, speeding up the process.
Reflexive underwriting works well for applications where further questionnaires would have been required. Here’s a list of some common conditions which receive immediate underwriting decisions using reflexive underwriting:
| Anxiety / Depression | Raised Blood Pressure |
| Arthritis | Raised Cholesterol |
| Stomach Disorders | Epilepsy |
| Gynaecological Disorders | Benign Lumps |
| Thyroid Conditions |
Avoid answering 'Don't know'
When you're filling out an application form online with your client on the phone, using the reflexive underwriting system, and a question is answered with 'Don't know' it automatically means that the case is referred to an underwriter for review. To save time, avoid providing ‘Don’t know’ answers where possible.
