As of April 5, agents can use this new process for all Final Expense and Single Premium Life insurance sales through Oxford Life.

“I’m proud to introduce InstaWriteSM to our agents,” said Mark Haydukovich, president and CEO of Oxford Life. “We understand that agents value every minute of the day, and the speed of our new life insurance sales process allows them to make more appointments and close more business.”

InstaWriteSM is a two-step process. First, an agent chooses to complete either an electronic or paper application. Second, the agent calls to speak with one of the dedicated InstaWriteSM processors for a quick health assessment. The health assessment generates a qualified or not qualified decision in a matter of minutes. The InstaWriteSM health assessment can be obtained by calling (833) 705-4019 Monday through Friday, 9 a.m.- 8 p.m. EDT (6 a.m.- 4 p.m. PDT).

Agents will soon have the option to bypass the phone health assessment and determine qualification status for their clients online. The electronic health assessment will be available via Oxford Life’s agent portal 24-7.
