Using the techniques disclosed herein, the patient may automatically be provided with approved insurance coverage upon completion of his or her medical examination.

  • Patent number: 11145001
    Abstract: Methods, systems, apparatus, and non-transitory computer readable media are disclosed for providing a web-based application that allows a customer to submit relevant information for obtaining insurance policy products that may require medical underwriting. Various aspects allow a customer to use the web-based application for a variety of insurance products, which may include term, full, and/or universal life insurance policies. The web-based application simplifies the application process by filtering questions and/or prompts presented to the customer based upon a customer's specific needs, previous answers, and/or other information. Various aspects also include determining whether a customer qualifies for temporary or permanent life insurance coverage based upon a customer's information and/or answers to one or more knockout questions, and if so, providing the customer with a binding receipt of temporary insurance coverage upon payment for a period of time in which the underwriting may be completed.
