MassMutual Underwriting Now Using Swiss Re Life Guide

MassMutual is now using the Swiss Re Life Guide, a move that is consistent with the industry, with the support of our reinsurers. 

The Swiss Re Life Guide offers comprehensive, up-to-date ratings guidance that is easy to search and interpret. Swiss Re also performs rules research and analysis as medical advancements accelerate for a proper competitive edge and mortality experience. 

MassMutual Field Underwriting Guide

We are in the process of creating a Field Underwriting Guide and will use it for certain guidelines, including:  

  • Accelerated and financial underwriting 
  • Foreign risk
  • Preferred criteria
  • Smoking definitions 

We will:

  • Modify new guidelines to bring in areas where our prior manual may be slightly more competitive.
  • Continuously provide feedback to Swiss Re for future improvements to help us maintain our competitive edge.

Note: Please use the Quick Quote email board for case-specific inquiries.
