Aviva has announced a series of enhancements to its Income Protection Solutions product.
Changes include a temporary accident cover benefit that provides up to 90 days' accident cover whilst the policy is being underwritten.
Launched earlier this year, Income Protection Solutions' enhancements are as follows:
Temporary Accident Cover - offering up to 90 days' free accident cover whilst the policy is being underwritten
Exclusions Discount - customer's premiums are discounted if they have an exclusion (including partial) for mental health and/or spinal conditions
Increased commission - intermediaries now receive 150% initial commission (previously 130%).
These enhancements follow Aviva's recent announcement that it had transformed its flexible Income Protection Solutions product by introducing electronic application and tele-interviewing, significantly improving the customer experience both at application and claims stage.
Kevin Murdoch, Senior Propositions Development Manager, Aviva UK Health said:
"Our flexible Income Protection Solutions has been really well received and we are committed to the ongoing development of the product to ensure that it continues to meet our customers' needs. Our innovative Protection Promise. "
