Underwriting:

UnitedHealthcare/Golden Rule has one of the fastest underwriting departments in the industry.  Most applications are approved in less than a week.  However, it could take longer if medical records are requested, so it is best to allow 4 weeks or more if possible.  Certain conditions may be excluded with a temporary rider (usually for one to two years), or an indefinite rider.

Golden Rule Insurance Company will typically call you on the phone to verify information on your application.

It is standard practice to request a Blood Pressure Inquiry if you are currently being treated for or have recently discontinued treatment for high blood pressure.

The effective date for illnesses will be the same as for injuries if you are replacing prior coverage within 62 days of application for this coverage and disclose replacement information on the initial application for insurance.  If replacement information is not disclosed on the initial application for insurance, the effective date for illnesses will be the 15th day after the effective date for injuries.  Illnesses that begin prior to that 15th day will be treated as a preexisting condition and will not be covered until the individual has been a covered person for 12 months.
