IMPACT evaluates the responses of an applicant to a questionnaire, analyses their already existing medical issues and creates risk scores that can be utilised by insurers to understand the expenses linked to a condition as well as its complications in the future.

This approach aids insurers in adopting informed underwriting decisions at the point of sale. 

An added module to the tool, the Health Risk Ratings Engine of Verisk, simplifies the process by facilitating insurers in designing their rules based on the risk scores and creating automated underwriting decisions on a real-time basis.

AXA Life & Health Reinsurance Solutions CEO Laurent Pochat-Cottilloux said: “The new Ratings Engine feature of the Health Risk Rating Tool has vastly improved IMPACT’s accessibility and efficiency in providing bespoke health insurance products to a wider demographic of customers.
