Not For Use with The Public. #1MaxElect, with a pre-existing condition limitation, allows participants who previously declined coverage to now purchase coverage at renewal. Also, it allows insureds who did not buy the maximum amount of benefit available to them at original purchase, to buy additional coverage at renewal. #2 Allows for greater participation both at original sale and renewal. #5 Because MaxElect was designed with solely the worksite market in mind (as was FlexElect Multi-life), they compliment each other well. This should increase the use of FlexElect Multi-life in your plan designs, resulting in the opportunity to have more eligible participants, and more sales for producers.

MaxElect Pre-Existing Condition Limitation A condition for which: The Insured received medical treatment, consultation, care or services including diagnostic measures, or took prescribed drugs or medicines within 12 months prior to the Effective Date of Coverage or the Effective Date of a change in Coverage or reinstatement; or The Insured had symptoms that would have caused an ordinarily prudent person to consult a health care provider in the 12 months immediately prior to the Effective Date of Coverage or the Effective Date of a change in Coverage or reinstatement. For any additional benefit or change on a subsequent application, a disease, mental disorder or physical condition will no longer be considered a Pre-Existing Condition if it causes disability that begins after the change in policy coverage has been in force for a period of 12 consecutive months. For Producer Use Only. Not For Use with The Public.

MaxElect Pre-Existing Condition Limitation 12/12 Pre-Existing Condition (PECL) is included in the base policy. We have endorsements that allow a 6/12 and 3/12 PECL, and an endorsement that removes the PECL from the policy. Full flexibility in plan design, except in the following scenarios: Required for voluntary cases without underlying Group LTD To consider offers for favorable voluntary cases with less than 75 eligible employees (50+) An option to continue offer at renewal that might be discontinued For Producer Use Only. Not For Use with The Public.

MaxElect -PECL Advantages Flexibility to align with Group LTD PECL Renewal/Re-solicitation opportunities – ability to re-solicit employees using MaxElect who previously declined offer or did not take maximum benefit they were eligible for Cost containment option (voluntary rates would have had to increase between 15-20% to maintain our profitability) Improved morbidity results for voluntary multi-life business (claims during contestability period, protection against anti-selection) Note: Inclusion of Pre-Existing Condition Limitation has no bearing on our reducing or enhancing a GSI offer For Producer Use Only. Not For Use with The Public.

MaxElect Pre-Existing Condition Limitation It is important to note that if a claim is ineligible due to the pre-existing condition limitation – meaning that the date of disability began within 12 months of the Effective Date and the claim is denied – the insured will NOT start to collect a benefit on the 13th month following the Effective Date. The Claim may be considered only if the date of disability begins AFTER the first 12 months following the Effective Date. For Producer Use Only. Not For Use with The Public.

MaxElect Pre-Existing Condition Limitation For GSI Coverage Only The Pre-Existing Condition will apply as defined. For GSI Coverage with Fully Underwritten Coverage If the fully underwritten coverage is issued standard, even if there is an admitted medical history and we decide to still issue standard, the pre-existing condition limitation will not apply to either the GSI or fully underwritten amount of insurance. If the fully underwritten coverage is rated substandard, ridered, declined, or there was an unadmitted medical history and we issued standard, the pre-existing condition limitation applies to the GSI amount of insurance. Let’s look at a few examples. For Producer Use Only. Not for Use with The Public.
