Institutional Services

 

Capabilities

Carroll Enterprises, Inc. provides institutions, ranging from Fortune 500 companies to small and mid-sized businesses, with online resources, telephone assistance, and the interactive tools needed to make the processing of insurance applications as easy as possible.

In the increasingly competitive world of insurance and financial services, providers are under tremendous pressure to issue policies more quickly, at the lowest cost. Using our in-house customer service call center, trained interviewers gather medical history information from applicants. Then, following a detailed custom script and drill down questions, the necessary background is gathered, and provided back to the institution's office.

Utilizing the talents of experienced underwriters to conduct telephone interviews with applicants improves the data collection process, speeds service time, and reduces the need for attending physician statements (APS).

Case Management

From the time a signed application is received back from an applicant until an issued policy is delivered to the policyholder and the policy is in force, our Case Management Team provides day-to-day processing of applications in concert with the insurance company's new business and underwriting department.

Working on behalf of outside financial advisors to process the application quickly and efficiently, the financial advisor never experiences the frustrations of a lack of ongoing information about the status of their cases. We provide end-to-end application management, where accurate updates are accessible and available immediately online. Plus, the Case Management Team reaches out to the writing agent or financial advisor with weekly updates on the status of their cases. That high-touch environment provides a superior customer experience.

Central Supervision

Supervisory approvals of submitted requests for insurance applications can take days, if not weeks, in most organizations. Not only is there a review of the coverage specifics, but there is also the concerns associated with appropriate suitability reviews on the product selected and offered to the customer.

With our real-time integrated central supervision tool, the process of paper review forms passing through multiple hands for approval is eliminated. In its place, an online tool allowing a central supervisory approval unit to quickly review and approve (or decline) a case within minutes of the time it is submitted. The result? The application cycle time is reduced by days or weeks, delivering the product to the consumer that much sooner.

Commission Management

The Commission Management unit processes carrier commission payments on behalf of third party insurance agencies and agents. The unit receives carrier payments on behalf of the agencies and calculates payments to be distributed among the parties/agents per agency instructions and guidelines. Additionally, the Commission Management unit monitors carrier payments, compares them to agency-carrier agreements, reconciles commission balances, deals with carrier-agency issues/disputes, and reports results to the agency.
