Health Insurance Underwriter- One who is responsible for evaluating risks to determine appropriate premiums to mitigate unforeseen financial lossesAlthough this is the standard definition of what I do, it involves much more than analyzing the covered population and past claims. Many people do not realize that underwriting student health plans is unique. For example, in student health a different population each year as students graduate and new ones start their college career. This is different than employer insurance where employees can remain with a company for many years. Having worked solely in the student health industry for over 25 years, I have a strong grasp on the intricacies which I am able to effectively communicate to our carrier partners to come to a premium rate that benefits the school, students and carriers. I began my career in underwriting after graduating with a double major in Finance and Insurance from the University of North Texas. My great love for numbers, and seeing them equal out have made my role as underwriter that much more enjoyable. I take great pride in knowing that my work ensures that our future generations of leaders have access to affordable healthcare. In addition to student health plans, I have experience underwriting Intercollegiate Sports, study abroad and student dental plans.
