Updated Underwriting Field Guide and reminder of recent improvements

The Legal & General America underwriting team is always looking for ways to responsibly improve how we evaluate risk and ultimately help more customers get the affordable coverage they need. We recently communicated improvements in these areas:

  • Marijuana use now considered for non-tobacco rate classes
  • EIRs replacing all IRs
  • Visa and Green Card considerations

For more details on these improvements, please contact your BGA

Principal Accelerated Underwriting Program Enhancements

Last March, we introduced temporary underwriting guidelines to use with our Accelerated Underwriting (AU) program. They enabled us to underwrite more of your clients on a non-examination basis by using digital health data from various sources, including the patient portal. I’m proud of how quickly and effectively we were able to implement the temporary guidelines. I believe it exemplified our nimble, experimental, and risk-aware approach. This experience also provided tremendous insights into the potential future capabilities of AU. We’ve used those learnings to establish new AU guidelines outlined below that will allow more of your clients to benefit from this innovative program.

New AU program guidelines effective Feb. 15, 2021, contact your BGA today for more details
