2009-09-21T05:41:00.000-07:00

Two new questions are included on replacement forms for SC: (1) Are you considering discontinuing making premium payments, surrendering, forfeiting, assigning to the insurer, or otherwise terminating your existing policy or contract, and (2) Are you considering using funds from your existing policies or contracts to pay premiums due on the new policy or contract? Any applicant who has existing coverage must complete the newly worded replacement form.

And there is more! You, as agent, must offer to read the form aloud to the applicant, unless the applicant is willing to initial that he doesn't want it read aloud.

Additional details are included in the regs. Be sure to download the new replacement forms for specific carriers from our "Forms" section.

QUESTION:
Do you think you have a big case that may go sour because of medical history? It may not be as bad as you think. For instance, did you know that Depression and Asthma can be considered for Preferred Best? Breast Cancer, Colon Cancer and Prostate Cancer can be issued Standard - even Preferred? It's the same with many Liver diseases, Lung diseases, and Heart problems. Get the details from your client, then get on the phone with Ashley or Bill.

We have specialized forms for nearly any medical condition. Just call 1-800-223-2762 and ask for a Pre-Underwriting Fact Finder. It will help you make the sale!

SUGGESTION: Before you quote Preferred Best or Preferred on ANY client, get the facts about his medical history!
