This underwriter would broadly define antiselection as a state that exists when the proposed insured is aware of facts in his health habits (or lack thereof), medical history, avocations, and other scenarios that are intentionally not disclosed at the time of application. The new process maximizes detection of antiselection and fraud while increasing underwriter efficiency. Companies also should consider how changing their underwriting requirements might influence the risk of antiselection and how antiselection may change the frequency of an impairment among those applying for insurance. |
