For those who don't receive instant approval, Accelerated Underwriting seamlessly transitions their applications into a more traditional underwriting process for the same product with the same available premium classes.

At the end of the app, the client will give permission to gather third-party data and e-sign.

2. Underwriting Decision Engine

Processes publicly available data, such as motor vehicle reports, prescription drug histories and MIB. Underwriting engine provides an instant decision: Approved, Referred to Underwriting or Rejected.

3. Receive an Email with Instant Decision

Term life e-app FAQs

What signature options are available on the Term Life e-app?

Two signature options are available to your clients through the Term Life e-app.

Face-to-Face eSignature: The appropriate method to use when the applicant is physically in your presence during the application process.
Click-Wrap: An email is sent to the applicant's email address with a link to review the application and apply an electronic signature.

Can I fill out the application electronically, and then have it wet signed?

Yes, you can view, print and wet sign the paper application; however, you will lose the ability to submit the application electronically to Assurity. In doing so, the Accelerated Underwriting decision is no longer available and payment in the form of credit card submission is no longer valid/accepted.

On the health questions of the Term Life e-app, how does the "Search all that apply" box work?

When you answer "yes" to a health question, the "Search all that apply" box appears. Simply start typing and then pick a choice from the options provided to you. You must choose options from the system- do not type your own word or phrase- or the application will be automatically Referred to Underwriting. The occupation search box works the same way.

How do I enter the occupation of my applicant?

Start typing in the "Search all that apply" box and then pick your applicant's occupation from the choices provided in the system. You must choose from the 12,000+ occupations in the system- do not type your own word or phrase– or the application will be automatically Referred to Underwriting.

Can I take the client's information and then submit the e-app?

Yes, but only if using the click-wrap signature option, which allows the client to review the application and sign it electronically.

Are the health questions always the same?

No, the questions are reflexive and change based on the particular health situation of the applicant. Be sure to complete all of the reflexive questions.

How important is entering an appropriate risk class for the applicant to the accelerated underwriting process?

It's very important for producers to be as accurate as possible when entering the applicant's risk class. The underwriting engine will provide an instant decision for risks class at or above what is entered; however, if the risk class is determined to be lower, the application will be Referred to Underwriting for review.

Are credit card payments accepted on the e-app?

Yes, Assurity accepts credit and debit card payments on the Term Life e-app, but not with paper applications.

How is the applicant's HIPAA signature collected during the e-app process?

During the step called the "eSignature Consent - HIPAA," the producer must collect either a face-to-face or click wrap email signature from the applicant. If using the click wrap email signature process, the applicant must select "notify my agent." The producer must refresh the e-app by exiting out after the HIPAA signature.
