ESL Office Underwriting
Underwriting is an integrated solution to the process of quote management, rate calculation, and proposal preparation.
Quote Management
- The
quote log tracks a request for proposal through-out the proposal process,
from the time a proposal is logged, through census input, underwriting,
and proposal issuance or declination.
- Generates
and documents letters in the proposal journal, including Renewal letters,
Additional Information requests, and Declination letters.
- Quote
management includes production reports, with the number of cases,
their status, and sold close ratios for both new and renewal business.
Underwriter discretion reports detail the deviation of issued proposals
from manual on both discretion and PPO discounting. These reports
may be listed by underwriter, carrier, producer, administrator, or
effective date and totaled indicating average production and discretion
given.
Rate Calculation
- Both
the Excess Loss Medical and Group Term Life proposals are calculated
from the same submission and share base case information such as census,
sic code, and effective date.
- Multiple
rate manuals from different vendors may be implemented at the same
time to allow for differences in carrier requirements or to allow
the same vendor manual to exist from year to year with annual updates.
Most common third party vendor manuals have been modeled including
Tillinghast, Howard Johnson and M & R (third party manuals must
be purchased from the appropriate vendor prior to inclusion with the
underwriting software).
- Aggregate underwriting includes experience rating with manual/experience
blending for all coverage’s including medical, prescription drug card,
dental, vision, and weekly income.
- All
calculations worksheets may be viewed on screen and printed for file
documentation.
- Underwriter discretion is documented and may be reported upon by case,
underwriter, carrier, or producer to manage the discretion allowed
on each proposal and in total block.
- PPO
Network discounts, managed in the Directory by region, may be blended
by the number of employees in each network to produce a blended discount.
Proposals
- Proposals
may be presented with up to four different options stacked side-by-side
on the same page.
- Proposals
may be issued with contingencies and qualifications entered manually
or selected from standard wording.
- Proposals
may be printed, faxed or e-mailed from within Underwriting with additional
documents selected for inclusion with the proposal, such as a trigger
diagnosis list, disclosure statement, etc.
- Accounts

into Contracts for contract administration.
