New solution from life insurance industry
leaders supports quicker and less invasive risk assessment process

ST. LOUIS & BRAINTREE, Mass.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Reinsurance
Group of America, Incorporated
(NYSE: RGA), a leading global life
reinsurer, is teaming up with MIB Group, Inc. (MIB), the life and health
insurance industry’s most trusted and secure resource for data-driven
risk management services, to develop a synergistic electronic health
record solution for improving applicant risk assessment and expediting

synergies of a new data source and a powerful risk assessment tool for
use in underwriting.

that will streamline their underwriting processes, allowing them to keep
up with changing consumer buying preferences and the movement to digital
environments,” said Lee Oliphant, President and Chief Executive Officer,
