Manually underwriting health insurance can be fraught with errors as underwriters need to analyze medical history, demographic profile, lifestyle, and other sources of information to determine the applicant’s risk. With an automated underwriting process, insurers can get a consolidated view of the application and the applicant’s health-related data, improve risk analysis, offer personalized and competitive rates, improve customer conversion, and increase internal efficiency. With Newgen’s underwriting solution, built on a configurable low code platform, insurers get the flexibility to meet regulatory requirements and quickly adapt to dynamic business needs.
