Smart Score a  Smarter Choice!

 

Leading Insurance Companies are choosing Smart Score to assess applicant risk.  That's because actuarial and laboratory science come together to provide a better, more accurate underwriting assessment.  Smart Score is the CRL laboratory, BP and build scoring tool supported by years of published research on assessing risk for each test, and on effectively combining results to give a total score reflecting the unique contribution of each test for each age-sex combination. You might (and should) ask about how Smart Score stacks up to the competition,which has more recently sprung up, because we are convinced most of the industry will be using laboratory scoring for tested business within 5 years.

 

As documented by major Insurers and Reinsurers, Smart Score achieves risk discrimination from the best 10% of applicants (at any age) right down to the worst 10%. This far exceeds any other current preferred criteria and (manual) underwriter screening of laboratory studies and physical measurements.   Our leading competitor displays that they can only discriminate risk for the worst 30% of insurance applicants and offers little or no risk discrimination for the standard to preferred pool (and doesn't show you results split by sex and decade of age).

 

Please contact your CRL representative to learn more about Smart Sore or discuss a Smart Score underwriting comparison.
