Short-Term Disability (STD) coverage - ANSWERS-Group disability income
insurance that provides benefits for less than two years.
Coverage for group disability income benefits takes two forms: short-term

profiting by collecting more benefits than the amount of loss.
Medical Expense Insurance Taxation - ANSWERS-Premiums are tax deductible to
the extent all nonreimbursed medical expenses exceed certain AGI thresholds.
A person is allowed to deduct medical expenses—including medical insurance
premiums—that exceed 10% of adjusted gross income (AGI). (Through 2016, the
threshold for seniors is 7½% of AGI. Beginning in 2017 it is 10% of AGI for all
people.)
Attending Physician's Statement (APS) - ANSWERS-physician's report, requested
by an underwriter, that provides detailed information on a specific condition for

An APS is requested if the applicant has been treated for a medical condition for
which the underwriter needs additional information before approving an
application for insurance.
Dental Insurance - ANSWERS-A type of limited risk health insurance that
reimburses insureds for the cost of noncosmetic dental care.
,Fraternal Insurance Company - ANSWERS-A non-profit form of insurance provider
sponsored by an organization of people who share a common ethnic, religious, or

which the manager and producers are fully independent and not affiliated with
any single insurer.
Representations and Warranties - ANSWERS-Representations are statements the
applicant makes on an application that are deemed to be true to the applicant's
best knowledge. Warranties are statements the insurer makes in the contract.
, Underwriting vs. Actuarial Departments - ANSWERS-Two related insurance
company functions. Through the process of _________, applications are assessed
for insurability and to assign premium rates. The ________ department analyzes
data to help estimate future losses and to produce rate tables.
Managerial System vs. General Agency System - ANSWERS-Two variations of the
career agency system in which producers represent a single company. One is
headed by a company employee called a general manager (GM), the other by an
independent contractor called a general agent (GA).
