My professional background began with clinical internal medicine before transitioning to insurance medicine. In 2007, I founded Strategic Medical Consulting (SMC), Inc. where I function as a physician medical consultant providing expert underwriting analysis and advice directly to life insurance advisors and to life insurance underwriters. Successful producers who provide their clients with “connoisseur” service, differentiate their practices from others. In-house medical underwriting is part of the expertise necessary for this level of service. Collaboratively, the life insurance advisor and I work with life insurance carriers, which results in more rapid post-submission underwriting turn-around times and often more favorable underwriting decisions compared to the usual case submission process. Strategic Medical Consulting also provides a variety of services to life insurance carriers. My unique background provides carriers a different kind of medical director, one whose goals are not just “protecting mortality”, but more importantly, placing profitable business on the books. This is accomplished by assisting underwriters to make sound underwriting decisions and to provide the producer with a pathway to possibly get the case issued when necessary. For more details go to www.strategicmedconsulting.com or contact me directly. I can be reached by email, info@strategicmedconsulting.com or by calling me directly, 317-536-2603.Boarded specialties: Internal Medicine and Insurance Medicine

PresidentStrategic Medical Consulting, Inc. Apr 2007 - PresentMy life insurance medicine expertise developed from 15 years of private practice, being a medical director of direct life insurance carriers for 25 years, serving the role of a medical director for a reinsurance carrier, and working directly with life insurance producers since 2007. I have an insightful understanding of the insurance sales force (producers) and the carriers’ needs and incentives. Over the past decade, the interaction between the producer and underwriter has become less direct resulting in less collaboration. Today the producer often requires an underwriting advocate who works independently of the life insurance carrier where his case is being sent. Strategic Medical Consulting (SMC) partners with producers enabling them to better understand and prepare their cases for medical underwriting. This results in the case being more likely to progress though underwriting quicker and emerge with a more favorable risk assessment (rating). If an adverse underwriting decision has been made, then SMC will help the producer in salvaging the case if possible. My unique background also provides insurance carriers a different kind of medical director, one whose goals are not just “protecting mortality”, but also encouraging the underwriters to try to make the extra effort of thinking and working “out of the box” in order to place more cases that will be profitable to the company.

Vice President & Medical DirectorAviva Usa Life Insurance Company 2003 - 2007London, GbI served as VP & Medical Director for Indianapolis Life Insurance Company, which became AmerUs and later, AVIVA. My role was assisting the underwriting staff in risk assessments, educating the underwriting staff, establishing underwriting standards and death claims. Being cognizant of the importance of the field force, I established good working relationships with our internal marketing department and with the field. I learned that case underwriting had two components, protecting mortality and being creative in acquiring the necessary information from the producer or from the applicant’s physician to allow us to provide a competitive offer, and doing so in a timely manner. This philosophy served as impetus to start my own company that provided medical underwriting services for producers. -
