UNDERWRITING CRITERIA COMPARISONS

The attached Exhibit C provides an underwriting criteria comparison for each company represented in CSG’s Cancer Insurance competitive database. This information was compiled from each company’s application filed with the state insurance departments. Each application question was summarized based on the condition being asked and the “look back” period used for eligibility. This exhibit has been condensed to show the major conditions when applying for a cancer policy. Other medical conditions may apply on a per company bases that are not shown in this illustration but are uncommon within this market or pertain to riders associated with a particular policy. The Exhibit C should be interpreted by reviewing each medical condition and the criteria used for declination. For example, on internal cancer, if the table states “2 years”, this means the company will decline coverage for any applicant that has been diagnosed of treated for internal cancer within the last 2 years. If the table is blank for any specific condition the company does not ask any application questions for that particular condition. The actual application question may vary by company and could be more or less restrictive given the actual wording of the question. These tables should be viewed with caution and used only as a guide to the types of conditions and “look back” periods each company uses in evaluating Cancer Insurance applicants. In addition there may be slight variations in applications by state that are not reflected in the tables.
