Underwriting We believe our philosophical approach to underwriting business is a distinguishing factor, and it enables us to have an industry leading informal to

formal ratio. Beyond having an in-depth understanding of our carriers, this is where our belief in proactive thought really makes a difference.

When you decide to place an informal case with Universal, this is what you can expect:

A talented, focused underwriting team dedicated to informal business

Quick turn-around: Goal is 3-5 days to medically summarize and submit a case

A stringent initial assessment on cases, we call it “Double-Scrubbing”

A fully secured, paperless informal department that allows us to manage large volumes of personal data efficiently

Real-time online case management providing access to all offers in one convenient location

All business is processed within 24hours of receiving a complete application

We are privileged to have created a team of respected experts with over 75 years of combined experience in the underwriting marketplace. Bringing

true expertise in handling complex medical and financial risks, especially in the affluent, high-net worth market, Universal’s underwriting department

has first hand knowledge of all aspects of the life insurance underwriting process and maintains close working relationships with medical directors and

senior underwriters at the carriers. Our internal team is comprised of experts in all facets of the process and possess a depth of knowledge in medical

and mortality modeling unsurpassed by our competitors. Steeping our negotiations in fact allows Universal to maintain resounding carrier respect

while achieving the best results for our clients. With several RN’s, and multiple internal informal and formal staff, we pride ourselves on providing an

efficient underwriting process.

We utilize professionals, including physicians, actuaries and underwriters, committed to ensuring that you are evaluated according to your unique

circumstances, rather than how you fit into a statistical model. For our clients, this often means a favorable negotiating edge, competitive costs,

greater benefits and higher limits.

Carrier Relationships A cornerstone of the UIS service platform is our unparalleled relationships that we maintain with our carriers, including their top underwriting staff,

CEO’s and executive levels of our carrier partners. These relationships afford us a unique perspective into how our carriers will respond to a case,

allowing us to target our submissions for the best outcome. Our carriers appreciate both our passion and our diligence when pursuing cases. They

understand that we will only pursue a case if we believe in its viability. In turn our agents benefit by our strategic and upfront analysis, as our

thoroughness alleviates carrier inundation. This approach has strengthened our carrier relationships, decreased processing times and amplified our

production.

As an advocate for the agent (client) and the insurance carrier; Universal has been able to forge unique relationships and ultimately accomplish what

other BGA’s cannot, nor have the resources to do. We distinguish ourselves by the work we do up front and in the way we package a case, whether

it be informal or formal business. In addition Universal’s principals sit on several carrier boards, continually requested to aid in product design,

underwriting guidance and marketing initiatives. These resources allow us to stay ahead of the competition and potentially have access to product

and systems not available to other organizations nationally.

A true independent brokerage general agency, we provide access to the world’s leading carriers across life insurance and annuities, disability income

and long-term care. Universal Insurance Services has relationships with over 30 major insurance carriers and has helped account for billions in face

amounts and hundreds of millions of dollars in premium. Continually ranking as a top “producer” for many carriers, this puts our organization in a
