Reporting to the Team Manager, the Medical Underwriter, Sr. Associate is responsible for evaluating life insurance applications and determining whether applications should be approved, declined or if additional information is required. The Medical Underwriter, Sr. Associates are authorized to issue or decline all cases within their authority limit.
The Medical Underwriter, Sr. Associates predominately rely on Underwriting Guidelines to evaluate an applicant's risk classification; however, due to the complexity associated with multiple conditions or the diversity of conditions identified within an Attending Physician Statement, they are frequently required to make assessments of applicant risk absent specific direction from the Underwriting Guidelines. Whether synthesizing the mortality risk of medical labs and family history or discounting the mortality risks of highly correlated factors such as motor vehicle reports and avocations, Senior Associates are expected to evaluate an applicant's overall risk profile, not simply summing the total from the individual risk factors. Technical leads, Medical Directors and Team Underwriters are availablefor consult as necessary; but the Medical Underwriter, Sr. Associates are expected to make a decision recommendation, not open-ended requests for insight. As the majority of applications reviewed by this role include Attending Physician Statements, a Medical Underwriter, Sr. Associate must have a working knowledge of medical terminology and awareness of how various medical impairments interact and effect individual mortality and morbidity risk. Interaction with Third party Administrator personnel is also often needed. Consequently, the Medical Underwriter, Sr. Associates must have strong communication and relationship management skills. The Medical Underwriter, Sr. Associates will be required to meet established production standards and time service standards.
