DI – Disability Insurance Carriers – Ameritas Principal Standard Petersen (Lloyd’s of London) Mutual of Omaha

WHAT IS DISABILITY INCOME INSURANCE? Disability Income (DI) Insurance replaces a portion of your income when you are unable to work.

Do I need originals? All carriers will accept a clear copy of the application, but know they can come back to ask for the originals.

What do you need to order? TeleApp/Phone Interview (for Principal) Medicals (based off age and benefit amount)

What income documents are needed? Clients should bring the following to the appointment: W-2 (previous year if client has not filed) YTD Paystub – current year 1040 (with all schedules-if filed jointly) from previous year Make copies of these documents and send with the application.

What does the carrier order Standard and Lloyd’s of London orders the medicals, APS and Phone Interview. Principal can order the medicals (If you inform them when you are placing the order for the TeleApp).

APPROVAL There is no “wiggle” room with DI Insurance. There could be either a permanent or temporary exclusion rider.

What happens if the client is declined? We are unable to have a case reviewed by our UW’s even with a PRE Form on file. DI carrier’s order their own medical records and we do not have access to the records. Our information is VERY limited. Quick Quoting or shopping is not an option with DI as all DI carriers have the same guidelines.

How can a client get approved for DI and not Life Insurance The difference is Morbidity (DI) verses Mortality (length of life).

Mutual of Omaha Transamerica OneAmerica LTC Long Term Care Mutual of Omaha Transamerica OneAmerica

What is Long Term Care? Long Term Care is a blanket term product for a wide range of services that are designed to meet medical, personal and social needs in a variety of settings & locations such as Assisted Living, Continuing Care, Home Care, Hospice Care, Nursing Home, Personal Care/Rest Home and Retirement Community. The OneAmerica product includes a LTC Rider, Whole Life or an Annuity as well. We will have additional information on this product later in the presentation.

Before you take an application Every agent must complete the LTC Training Course - This is required by ALL carriers. Refresher Course Pre-Appointment *** Not being properly licensed can cause an application to be rejected and require a second application to be dated and resubmitted after you have completed training. ***

Do I need originals or money? They will accept clear clean copies but if money is being submitted, the originals should be provided so they can all be submitted together. After approval, OneAmerica requires premium prior to issue of the policy.

What requirements are needed? Depends on the carrier – generally it is the phone interview, APS, exam Requirements are based on age and the last time the client visited their physician. With OneAmerica, based on the phone interview, clients can qualify for Express Underwriting and be approved with no medical information required.

How can I help? Notify your client when the medical records are needed – ask them to call the doctor and inform them that their medical records are required to process their application Let client know there is a third party that will be contacting them to complete the Phone Interview.

Approvals Again, due to HIPAA, information is limited. LTC carriers have similar underwriting guidelines. A decline with one carrier will more than likely be a decline for all.

Quick Quote/Shop for LTC You can pre-qualify a client that has health issues prior to completing an application. The following is what you will need to provide: Gender Build DOB Any medications Any surgeries We can reach out to a carrier regarding your client and speak directly to an underwriter if you would like for us to do that.

If my client is declined for LTC, can we apply for Life with the LTC Rider Unfortunately, if your client applies for LTC and is declined, the LTC Rider on the Life application will also be declined. The LTC Rider is just like applying for LTC alone

New DOL Regulations Due to recent DOL changes that went into effect June 9, 2017, all annuity applications that involve qualified funds are subject to suitability review and approval by FHC before we are able to process and submit an application to the carrier.

What is a Fixed Annuity? An annuity is a contract sold by an insurance company designed to provide payments to the holder at specified intervals, usually after retirement. Fixed annuities guarantee a certain payment amount. They are relatively safe low-yielding investments.
