A study from @MunichRe is a wake-up call: EHRs deliver faster, smarter, and more accurate risk assessments than labs and exams. If you’re still waiting for fluids, you’re losing time—and money. Digital health data is the new underwriting backbone: https://t.co/hHmFuEa98a

AI isn’t just helping insurers; it’s helping fraudsters. Synthetic identities, fake documents, and deepfakes are on the rise. If your controls aren’t evolving, your losses will be. The fight against fraud is a tech arms race—are you keeping up? https://t.co/3ot8jZFO7K

Still using BMI as your main risk metric? Milliman’s latest research says you’re missing the mark. Comorbidities drive mortality, not just the number on the scale. The best underwriters can find healthy lives in “high-risk” cohorts. Can you? https://t.co/EBnXvCcKXL

Applicants aren’t getting younger. Plasma cell disorders like MGUS and multiple myeloma are on the rise. Underwriters: get familiar with the latest diagnostic models and risk stratification, or risk missing the mark on older lives. https://t.co/JPyvtcP8TS

The latest study from Munich Re is clear: EHRs beat labs and exams for accuracy, speed, and savings. If you’re still relying on fluids alone, you’re missing out on better risk decisions and happier customers. The future is digital. Are you on board? https://t.co/hHmFuEa98a

Milliman’s research just buried BMI as a standalone risk metric. Turns out, comorbidities—not the scale—drive mortality. If you’re still rating by body build alone, you’re leaving good business on the table. Learn more in OTR: https://t.co/EBnXvCcKXL

Depression, anxiety, ADHD: these aren’t just clinical terms, they’re the new drivers of mortality in young lives. Underwriters need to look at treatment engagement, family support, and real-world impact. Are you ready to rethink risk? https://t.co/9MDinzJ9wq
