iCover Unveils Innovative Manual Underwriting Service in InsurTech Landscape

iCover Introduces Manual Underwriting Services

In an exciting development for the insurance industry, iCover, a pioneering InsurTech based in Chesterfield, Missouri, has officially launched its manual underwriting service. This new offering is designed to complement their existing innovative algorithmic underwriting platform, thereby enhancing the operational efficiency of life insurance companies.

iCover's manual underwriting service is integrated directly within its highly acclaimed eApp platform through a feature called the Workbench. This integration allows applications requiring additional scrutiny—such as those involving complex medical histories or unique financial situations—to be directed to knowledgeable underwriters. By maintaining a case-by-case assessment while leveraging advanced technology, iCover ensures that efficiency remains a priority.

Santosh Bhosale, the Head of Underwriting Services at iCover, expressed his enthusiasm for this initiative. He stated, "We are thrilled to lead an offering that fuses cutting-edge algorithmic underwriting with our advanced new Workbench. With three carriers joining us for the inaugural launch, we're setting the stage for the future of underwriting." This blend of technology with human insight promises to redefine the underwriting landscape.

The new service is particularly focused on improving placement rates and optimizing cycle times for edge-case risks. By combining human expertise with iCover's robust data enrichment capabilities, evidence collection, and structured case summaries, it aims to streamline the decision-making process. Furthermore, carriers using iCover can customize escalation criteria, documentation needs, and communication preferences, creating a seamless experience for both automated and manual underwriting paths.

Nicole Mwesigwa, iCover's Co-Founder and COO, also remarked on the importance of this offering: "We are thrilled to provide an exceptional service, backed by exceptional tech and led by exceptional people." This sentiment encapsulates iCover's mission to not only innovate but also to provide genuine value to their clients in the sometimes challenging landscape of life insurance.

For companies seeking to keep pace with the rapidly evolving insurance market, iCover's manual underwriting service represents a significant advancement. The ability to combine technological prowess with personalized underwriting means that insurers can now offer tailored solutions to clients while maintaining their operational efficiency.

iCover has positioned itself as a leader in the InsurTech space, being recognized as the first "plug and play" algorithmic underwriting platform within the industry. Their proprietary underwriting framework, supported by the patent-pending QUI technology, enables insurers to rapidly quote, underwrite, and deliver life insurance policies—typically in under five minutes at the point of sale. With industry veterans like Hari Srinivasan and Nicole Mwesigwa at the helm, iCover leverages over 30 years of combined experience in InsurTech and automated underwriting.

In conclusion, iCover’s manual underwriting services add a new dimension to their existing offerings and exemplify the company's commitment to future-proofing the insurance sector through digital transformation.
