Description: In this AUW-inspiring session, we'll dive into a decade-worth of accelerated underwriting (AUW) random holdout and post-issue audit data collected across 30+ industry programs and learn monitoring best practices directly from two life insurance underwriting experts on the 'front lines' of monitoring. From the industry study, we'll explore misclassification trends, including the characteristics of applicants most likely to be misclassified in a random audit and how we use this monitoring data to estimate excess mortality 'slippage' in AUW programs. From first-hand experience, underwriters will highlight the challenges and benefits of various monitoring methods, including resource constraints and how targeted auditing can be leveraged to guide future program enhancements. Lastly, we'll discuss when year-over-year trends and claims experience become credible, and in the meantime, how to look for value beyond the slippage estimate to improve fluidless underwriting programs moving forward into the next decade and beyond! Learning outcomes: 1) Gain a solid understanding of common monitoring practices in accelerated underwriting programs 2) Explore an in-depth monitoring study of 30,000+ random holdout and post-issue audit cases across 30+ AUW programs spanning over a decade of issue years 3) Learn how to use monitoring data to estimate excess mortality 'slippage' in AUW programs 4) Discover how monitoring insights and techniques can be leveraged to improve fluidless underwriting programs moving forward
