Underwriting Ease

Accelerating the use of clinical health data to power the future of manual underwriting.

THE CHALLENGE

When a life insurance application is kicked out of an automated underwriting process, underwriters spend time finding, opening, and sifting through pages of data to piece together the applicant's story.

With the increasing prevalence of third-party data sources, including clinical health data, this problem is becoming even worse.

What if we could remove the administrative burden and give underwriters the exact information they need, when they need it, to decide on a case?

The solution All medical underwriting requirements in one intuitive view

No more hunting down pieces of information, opening multiple windows, and searching for important details.

Swiss Re Reinsurance Solutions Underwriting Ease collects all underwriting requirements and presents the data in a way that makes it easy for underwriters to identify and drill into impairments, interpret clinical health data, and determine the appropriate underwriting decision, faster.
