Underwriting Guide Update

 

As part of the recent product enhancements that took place on April 1, 2021 in 38 states, we have released an updated Underwriting Guide dated 03.21. The new guide reflects the new Premier rate class structure, has added items based on your feedback and has more conditions listed in greater detail.

The guidelines in the updated guide are applicable to applications in all states, regardless of which version of EssentialLTC they use. Some notable updates include:
 

Guidelines for a family history of dementia

And many more additions based on your feedback!

The original version of the Underwriting Guide dated 04.20, with the three-tier rate class structure (Preferred Plus/Preferred/Standard,) is still usable in AZ, CA, CT, DC, DE, FL, HI, IN, ND, NJ and SD. If you have a case where the original  guide does not have enough detail for a certain condition, please refer to the "Premier" version for additional information. 

If you are unsure which rate class to illustrate or need any additional information beyond what the two guides provide, please contact our team at 888.505.2332 or at status@ngl-essentialltc.com for any underwriting-related questions.

Both versions of the guide are available at the Agent Resource Center in the "Reference Guides" section of the Sales & Marketing tab on the main navigation bar.

NGL is committed to bringing further enhancements you and the LTCi marketplace through your feedback. Thank you for your continued business.
