Prudential UW Change with Regard to Residents of Venezuela
Currently, Prudential accepts residents of Venezuela at NSP rates. However, that is changing. The country is being moved to a decline based on the overall endemic and political situation.

If you have any questions, please contact our office immediately. Prudential appreciates your understanding as to why they need to make this quick update.
PruFast Track Underwriting Launching on August 20, 2018
Prudential is excited to launch the PruFast Track on August 20th. PruFast Track was developed to simplify the underwriting process by leveraging Predictive Modeling and is available for most single life products at ages 18 – 60 and face amounts between $100,000 and $1,000,000. Clients who qualify for the top three underwriting classes are generally eligible for an accelerated underwriting decision (no exam and/or lab test) within days for some of the healthiest clients, although in some cases, an APS may be required in place of an exam or lab.
Beginning August 20th, any eligible application that is submitted through the Xpress Quick Form or Drop Ticket will automatically be on the PruFast Track underwriting path. When using the Xpress Quick Form or Drop ticket a tele-interview specialist will collect the required medical and risk information from the client. Exam or lab requirements should not be ordered with the application; doing so will automatically remove the application from PruFast Track and put it into the traditional underwriting path.
Eligibility
Ages 18 to 60
Face Amount $100,000 to $1,000,000
Electronic submission with tele-interview
All products except PruTerm One, PruLife UL Plus, and Survivorship products
U.S. Residents
Restrictions
No insurance exam ordered or completed in conjunction with the application
Single application submission (no additional applications)
No long form applications
Cases quoted Smoker, Preferred Smoker, or Substandard are not eligible

Improved Pricing on Prudential’s UL Protector as of June 11, 2018
At Prudential, we strive to provide clients with a relevant suite of product solutions to help them meet their financial goals. That’s why we’re excited to announce reduced rates on UL Protector, which underscores our commitment to the GUL marketplace and provides your clients with the same great death benefit option at a lower cost.
Reprice Details
- Rate reduction of approximately 3% across all level pay premiums.
- Short pay scenarios will see moderate decreases.
- Rate reduction of approximately 3% on BenefitAccess Rider (level pay premiums only).
- No rate increases, no change to single pay scenarios.
- Increased Competitiveness
We’ve improved our competitive positioning across the board as a result of UL Protector’s price decrease. In fact, the reprice positions us as the industry’s top leader in key cells for clients aged 65 and over.
Same Great Features
- Flexible Lifetime Guaranteed Protection: UL Protector is a permanent life insurance policy with guaranteed lifetime protection.
- BenefitAccess Rider (BAR): By adding BAR, clients can accelerate their death benefit should they become chronically or terminally ill, even if expected to recover. No receipts required. BAR costs are also decreased by about 3%.
- Age Last Birthday Advantage: While most carriers use “age at nearest birthday” to determine clients’ age, we use age at last birthday, which means potentially lower premiums for clients.
- A lower-priced UL Protector underscores our commitment to the no-lapse guarantee marketplace, and our promise to offer clients high-quality, cost-effective products at every stage of life.
