Underwriting
Guidelines and eDelivery Implementation
|
As we
continue to navigate the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic,
Ameritas Life Insurance Corp. is continuously evaluating and
adjusting our underwriting and new business practices to support
your business and navigate the risks associated with the pandemic.
Underwriting guideline changes
Effective immediately some temporary underwriting guidelines will
be implemented on all new pending life insurance applications. We
are taking a balanced, targeted risk approach rather than making
changes for every type of client. Please review the guidelines
for specifics. We will reevaluate the guidelines on June 30th,
and any changes at that time will be communicated.

New
business updates for faster policy delivery
We are pleased to announce a system enhancement that will enable
faster delivery of life insurance policies. Effective Monday,
April 20th we will eDeliver policies using DocuSign for all newly
issued policies. We understand this is different than how you
normally conduct business with Ameritas. However, we have taken
steps to improve our eDelivery strategy to help you continue to
conduct business during this time when personal contact is
limited.
eDelivery with DocuSign allows a PDF to be securely emailed to
you rather than receiving printed copies via the United States
Postal Service. Once you receive the notification from DocuSign,
you can review the policy and then release the package to gather
your clients' signatures.

·
More effectively gather signatures for post-issue
requirements, speeding up the time between application and policy
delivery.
·
Securely receive the policy electronically for
both you and your client.
·
Post issue delivery requirements are returned in
almost real time.
·
Eliminates the time and expense you incur to print
and mail policies to your clients
·
During the COVID-19 pandemic, eDelivery allows our
team to continue to assist you from any location and allows you
to protect yourselves and your clients during these unprecedented
times.
Because we cannot collect or draft premium on policies that
require a Good Health Statement and COVID-19 questions (see
Underwriting Guidelines) until we have signatures, eDelivery
using DocuSign is the best way to gather signatures so that
premium can be taken and commissions released.
For pending policies, a member of our team will be proactively
reaching out to you to attempt to authorize eDelivery. We are
here to help you through these new processes. Please call us
at 800-390-2361 option 1, and option 1 again whenever you need
assistance.
