Rewrite Resource Guide

Effective January 1, 2021, Dental Select’s business will transition to Ameritas Life Insurance Corp. and “Ameritas” will be the sole insurer and underwriter of the policies Dental Select administers. This means the current Chubb policies for each of your groups will be terminated on December 31, 2020 and with your help, their policy will simply be transferred to their new carrier, Ameritas.

We ask you to please notify your groups of this event, and we also ask all brokers and your fully insured groups to digitally sign a group application by November 13, 2020 accepting their new policy. In the unlikely event that one or more of your groups have current benefits that will not be 100% supported by the new products insured by Ameritas and administered by Dental Select, we will very soon send you out additional communication to notify those group(s) and what options we have to retain their business.

 

We’ve made this easy for you!

On October 12th, you will receive a DocuSign email to begin the rewrite process. If you have multiple groups with Dental Select, you will receive multiple emails via DocuSign. Each DocuSign email will include a unique link to a pre-populated group application. Here, you will designate a group benefits administrator, so please have current contact information handy. Then you’ll sign as the broker and submit. Once submitted, your work is done and will be passed on to the group benefits administrator to complete.

Next, the specified group benefits administrator will receive the group application to complete their assigned fields, and then sign. Upon completion you will both receive a downloadable copy of the new group application. From there, we can review the form and update the rewrite status.

 

But, we need your assistance.

Before the deadline, we ask that you assist each group with completing their assigned fields in DocuSign. To communicate and prepare them for their part of the process, please feel free to use this email template (open) PDF download to send to groups ahead of time. It will let them know why this is happening, what is expected of them, and when they will need to submit by.

For each of your groups that submit their application before the deadline, you will receive a $25 bonus. This $25 will be included on your end of year commission statement. If you want to check the status of each group application, feel free to reach out to us.

 

We’re here to help.
