Processing your long term insurance business is a top priority. Currently, we’re focused on stabilizing service levels—including phone service—and dispositioning the April to July inventory. Over the past week we have seen phone service levels improve.

What We Are Working On
1.Stabilizing and maintaining service levels. We have restored business-critical queues (initial application review, mail and e-mail) to a 24-48 hour service levels. We continue to make progress toward improving remaining queue service levels by the end of September, including restoring proactive case follow ups, shorter cycle times and dramatically improved phone response levels.
We continue to experience lengthy hold times. As we reduce our pending inventory over the next four weeks, phone service levels will improve. You can expect phone service to be back to normal levels by the end of September.
2.Dispositioning applications. We are working on dispositioning all cases submitted between April and July, 2013 by the end of September. These cases are being prioritized by age, completeness of underwriting requirements received, those with underwriting decisions and cases with outstanding requirements.
To accelerate medical records retrieval and communication, we are also exploring new opportunities with vendors.
Thank you for your continued patience and support.
