Interview Preparation

Archived Records
- Following the completion of the application, it will be submitted electronically to SBLI. In addition, copies of the completed form will be available on the vendor website for your records.
E-Sign Application
Tele-Med Interview Signature: Voice-Sign or DocuSign®
- At the end of the interview, a signature will be requested to confirm agreement on the answers provided, authorize access to your client’s personal data, and confirm e-delivery of the policy.
- Depending on the selected choice, the client has the option to voice-sign or DocuSign® the application.
Underwriting Review & REAL-TIME Decision
- Our automated underwriting process will evaluate the completed application, together with electronic data such as prescription history, MIB, MVR, and FCRA public information.
- The client will be told in real-time that they:
- Are approved: these cases instantly proceed to issue; or
- Need to schedule a lab/vitals exam, and the opportunity to schedule the time and date will be provided immediately; or
- Are referred to underwriting for additional consideration.
- Applications that do not qualify for accelerated underwriting will require a lab/vitals exam and when necessary, additional requirements such as an APS, may be requested.

Upsell Program (for Term only)
All cases will be eligible for consideration for our Upsell Program.
Underwriter Review
- The Underwriter will determine if the client qualifies for a greater coverage amount, without the need for any additional underwriting requirements, and:
- If eligible, determine the max coverage amount and initiate the Upsell letter;
- If not eligible, the case will proceed to issue at the applied-for amount.
Communicating the Upsell Offer
- If eligible, the owner will receive the Upsell coverage options, either by letter in the policy package or on My.SBLI.com for those who have opted-in for E-Policy Delivery (see E-Policy Delivery below).
- Your agency will be notified of the Upsell offer either by email or via a notification sent to the SBLI Agent website in the “Requirement” section.
Policy Issue
- If the owner selects one of the new coverage options and pays the premium, the policy will be re-issued.
- If there is no response within 5 days, from either the owner or the agency/agent, then the policy will be issued at the original face amount.

E-Policy Delivery
- If you are enrolled in our E-Policy Delivery program, and your client opts-in to e-delivery during the tele-med interview, no action is required by you.
- At issue, an e-mail notification is automatically sent to the client (including upsell options, if eligible) and any outstanding forms or amendments can be electronically signed and paid for.
- Proactive alert notifications on the application’s status are available to keep you updated. Make sure you have your alerts switched on
