It’s easier than ever to streamline the disability application process with the Standard Insurance Electronic Medical Questionnaire. No more long phone interviews or missed calls. Your clients can complete the Electronic Medical Questionnaire when it’s convenient for them. No more long medical history phone interviews or missed calls.
In addition, when your clients opt to complete the Full Underwriting Application Supplement with the Electronic Medical Questionnaire, they can speed up the underwriting process, reduce requests for additional information and receive a policy decision sooner. The Electronic Medical Questionnaire offers the option for clients to enter their employment, income and medical information that is needed for underwriting in a simple to use format.
The Electronic Medical Questionnaire is built in the same system as Standard’s Electronic Application, so you already have access to it if you are using the e-app. You just launch it from the same screen and enter some basic client information. If you don’t have access, make sure you contact your DI specialist at Source Brokerage, Inc to set you up and get you started.
With the Electronic Medical Questionnaire, there is no need to schedule an appointment. Your clients complete the questionnaire at a time and place that fits their schedules. It should take about 30-40 minutes to complete. If your clients are not able to finish it in one sitting, they can save it and come back to it later. And they have access to complete the Electronic Medical Questionnaire for up to 30 days. Once your client completes all the answers and signs the questionnaire on line, it is submitted to Standard.
After your client submits the questionnaire, you can also access a copy of the application as a PDF.
