Update on Gerber

[Tom from Denver]

Wrote an app on my wife in late August, still waiting....

I wonder if the elimination period will begin at the date if application.

If it does, then we're making progress on an immediate benefit plan.

Save your time. Recommend M of O.

Once your appointed it goes much faster but still slower than Vantis. But it's GI biz. These people know they can't get approved elsewhere. I just tell them this is a new program and because of that they're really backed up.

Just don't include the bank info an call in and add it and the draft date after its approved.

Actually now that I think about it my last app went through in 2 weeks or so.

Just Saying.....Kemper is still 5 business days for issue on HHC and GIWL plans.

Are you appointed with them yet? I know that they have strange process for filing those. They also want the upline to be licensed in the state you are in. I wrote one in August and it finally got issued in October. Since then, though, the turnaround is much faster. Online takes 3 days.

You may want to call licensing and see if they dropped ball there.

Whats Gerber got that Vantis doesn't?

 

[Tom from Denver]

Slower underwriting.

Is Gerber any better at getting business issued? We'd like to start using them.

Significantly better. Only takes a few days to get issued now.
Although their medsupps are slower than frozen molasses trying to flow uphill...

I plan on writing gerber 1st policy tomorrow. ill update on the timeline.
from the looks of it rates look better than vantis and much better than kemper?
come to remember my vantis contracting was a slow mess.

Slower underwriting.

And a name that has fed EVERY born American...

Don't get me wrong, I like Vantis but when I tell the clients that we're using Gerber for them, they act like it's an old friend that they haven't seen in a while...

A better chargeback policy.
