Medical underwriting can be laborious—and may come at a cost. Customers or insurers often need to complete lengthy medical reports and supply supporting evidence from a doctor or specialist. Once these steps are done—often followed by requests for clarification—the risks posed by a customer’s pre-existing medical conditions can still be excluded.
The Verisk Health Risk Rating Tool helps you automate medical risk assessment and underwrite inclusively for your health insurance customers, including those with pre-existing conditions.
You can quickly and easily implement the Health Risk Rating Tool through an application programming interface (API) or widget plugin solution.
More inclusive underwriting will enable your organization to help close the health insurance gap, and increase your market share.
The Health Risk Rating Tool can easily identify and match pre-existing conditions to claims using consistent medical codes (ICD 9 and 10).
Verisk automates medical risk assessment, providing information to support fast and consistent responses. Instant results follow the completion of a simple, intuitive self-declaration of a customer’s medical conditions.
When you use the Ratings Engine to enhance the Health Risk Rating Tool, you can embed your own underwriting rules, providing real-time cover decisions to end users and creating a robust use case for brokers and other insurance intermediaries.
