What they do
A Medical Underwriter uses medical and health information to evaluate an application for medical malpractice insurance or for health insurance. Medical malpractice insurance is essentially medical professional liability insurance for medical professionals. For health insurance, the underwriter reviews insurance documents to determine whether an offer of health insurance should be made, identifies and excludes pre-existing medical conditions, determine insurance types and limits, and calculate premium costs.
