Underwriting
Our underwriters are friendly and accessible and we believe you will like doing business with them because they have a dedicated team of analysts and underwriters whose main goal is to expedite your case. Here are more reasons you will like our underwriting…
Access to Underwriters – We take pride in having underwriters who will talk with you about your proposed insured. New business application review by our underwriters within four hours of receipt.
Greater flexibility for policies $1 million and less – Through age 79 for policies of $1 million and less we use Pharmacy Database Reports and underwriter discretion to order fewer APSs as merited by medical history.
Increased competitiveness – Columbus Life uses the industry-leading Gen Re and Swiss Re underwriting manuals in researching our assessments, and we utilize an underwriting approach to maximize competitiveness whereby we make the best assessment from the two manuals available to you.
Evidence of insurability timeframe – Columbus Life allows the use of evidence of insurability for up to 12 months. Underwriters may order more current requirements at their discretion if merited.
Elimination of routine exercise/stress EKGs – We are pleased to take an industry-leading position in eliminating Exercise/Stress EKGs as a routine age/amount requirement. Underwriters will request an Exercise/Stress EKG only if needed to assess a given medical history.
Expanded Standard through $1 Million – Individual and survivorship UL plans rated through Table C will be issued standard for ages 20–70. For survivorship plans, each insured is eligible.
Advanced Technology – Our underwriters work in a fully image-enabled environment, receiving requirements such as APSs, exams and other test results via the Internet. Pending status is updated hourly and is available for you to view online.
