Our Lab Lift program is automatically included as the next step. It substitutes electronic health records (EHRs), an attending physician statement (APS), or recent lab results for a paramedical exam so your client can still receive an accelerated underwriting decision.

More than 30% of cases receive an instant decision. If not, they automatically proceed to accelerated underwriting. Most cases we receive are approved without the need for any additional exam or lab work.

Just log into Application Manager through the LGA Partner Dashboard or check for case status from our electronic status feeds. You will also receive a notification whenever an underwriting decision is made.

Automated Underwriting is essentially technology that is leveraged throughout the application journey to do the mundane tasks that an underwriter would normally do, such as ordering requirements, evaluating data sources, and in some cases running rules to make a decision.

Even if a client does not qualify for automated underwriting, they can still apply through a lab-free journey if they meet eligibility requirements. Medical records may need to be obtained, but it’s still a shortened, easy, lab-free process.

This is determined when the automated underwriting platform instantaneously evaluates a case and provides a real-time offer or decision once an application is submitted.

Lab Lift is our exam substitution program. With Lab Lift, clients who are not initially approved for Instant Decision can replace their paramedical exam requirement with EHR or APS for accelerated underwriting.

EHR stands for “electronic health records” and APS stands for “attending physician statement.” We substitute these records for paramedical exams, whenever possible, for accelerated underwriting decisions. We will try to obtain an EHR first, but will obtain an APS when the EHR is not available.    

Accelerated underwriting is for men and women between the ages of 20 and 60, offering up to $2M of face amount, any term duration. Things that could disqualify an applicant include weight, chronic or long-term illness, major medical condition, recent bankruptcy, and other factors related to health and finances.
