What we’re doing to help

  • We will follow up with physicians about Attending Physician’s Statements (APS) in mid-November to try to have everything we need by November 30.
  • We’re targeting life applications with face amounts of $1 million and up and $25,000 in premium; and critical illness applications of $250,000 and up and $10,000 in premium.
  • We will offer physicians an incentive for expediting new or outstanding APS orders.
  • New Business and Underwriting staff in all locations will do an overtime blitz in mid-November and mid-December to finalize as much business as possible.
  • After the deadlines, we’ll continue to do our best to process your business to qualify for 2013.
