The Top 7 Ways To Avoid Surprise Underwriting!

When taking a life insurance application, it is critical to ensure that there are no surprises with the rating class being quoted. At Shaw American Financial we are very adamant about ensuring that the correct carrier is used based on information obtained from you, the agent.
 
We have come up with The top 7 questions to ask your client that will help us identify potential problems while underwriting. Answers to these questions will allow you to frame up the best choice in a carrier giving your client the best plan for their hard earned dollar.
 
Questions (details are necessary for any 'Yes' answers):
 
  1. Have you been to the doctor or hospital in the past 5 years?
  2. Are you taking any medications?
  3. Have you had any parents or siblings with a history of cancer, heart issues, or any other deaths prior to age 65?
  4. Have you ever used tobacco or nicotine products?
  5. Have you had any motor vehicle tickets or fines in the last 5 years.
  6. Do you or do you plan to engage in any hazardous activities?
  7. Are you planning to or have you traveled outside the US?
