Abstract: A system and method for automatically screening applicants for disability insurance in real-time, and if the results are favorable, automatically communicating acceptances and issuing policies via wireless communication. An applicant's BMI is calculated, and the applicant is rejected if the BMI is too high or low. The applicant's prescription drug history is obtained, and the applicant is rejected if the history shows use of a drug associated with a serious medical condition. The acceptance or rejection and a premium for the insurance product may be set based upon the real-time screening results and communicated to the applicant. Additionally, an occupation class assigned to the applicant may be confirmed, a motor vehicle report for the applicant may be obtained, and an insurance information report for the applicant may be obtained. If the applicant is rejected, they may be allowed to apply for the insurance product using an alternate non-real-time process.

Abstract: Methods, systems, apparatus, and non-transitory computer readable media are disclosed for providing a common application that allows a customer to submit relevant information across various channels for obtaining insurance policy products. Various aspects include a common application that receives information entered by a customer via one or more customer channels, which may include online channels, call center channels, insurance agent channels, and/or any other suitable channels. Various aspects also include aggregating portions of the relevant customer's information while identifying the channel in which the information was received and information not yet collected to determine an appropriate insurance policy product. In this way, a common application is utilized to provide a full suite of insurance policy products to customers while allowing the customers to submit relevant information over any number of different channels.

IPC: G06Q40/08

Abstract: Methods, systems, apparatus, and non-transitory computer readable media are disclosed for providing a web-based application that allows a customer to submit relevant information for obtaining insurance policy products that may require medical underwriting. Various aspects allow a customer to use the web-based application for a variety of insurance products, which may include term, full, and/or universal life insurance policies. The web-based application simplifies the application process by filtering questions and/or prompts presented to the customer based upon a customer's specific needs, previous answers, and/or other information. Various aspects also include determining whether a customer qualifies for temporary or permanent life insurance coverage based upon a customer's information and/or answers to one or more knockout questions, and if so, providing the customer with a binding receipt of temporary insurance coverage upon payment for a period of time in which the underwriting may be completed.
