Medical Insurance Underwriters assess and determine whether an applicant should be approved for health insurance coverage. They examine applications, consult with medical experts, analyze medical records, and determine the level of risk involved. Underwriters must have a strong understanding of the insurance industry and the principles of risk management. They are also required to stay up-to-date on the latest medical advances and treatments.
Education and Training
A bachelor's degree in business, finance, or a related field is typically required to become a Medical Insurance Underwriter. Some employers may also require candidates to have experience in the insurance industry. Underwriters must also pass a licensing exam administered by the state in which they will be working.
