Underwriting and Rating

Health Risk Rating Tool

Transform health insurance underwriting when you automate the assessment of medical conditions.

Are you efficiently and inclusively underwriting for pre-existing medical conditions?

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.

Automate medical risk assessment

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.

Underwrite at the point of sale

You can quickly and easily implement the Health Risk Rating Tool through an application programming interface (API) or widget plugin solution.

Increase market share

More inclusive underwriting will enable your organization to help close the health insurance gap, and increase your market share.

Streamline claims workflows

The Health Risk Rating Tool can easily identify and match pre-existing conditions to claims using consistent medical codes (ICD 9 and 10).

AXA’s health insurance sales have increased by 30% since using the Health Risk Rating Tool. The tool’s ability to provide accurate risk rating outcomes and create efficiencies in our workflow have greatly improved the overall customer journey and significantly reduced manual underwriting intervention. We are grateful for our partnership with Verisk and will continue to provide our customers with inclusive insurance coverage tailored to the individual.
