Allianz is changing some of its guidelines around large cases. Effective immediately, all cases with death benefits above $15 million ($15,000,001) will be processed using facultative reinsurance. This includes all new applications and pending business. Allianz expects this change will be in place for 3-6 months while it builds a large case underwriting team. These short term changes will allow Allianz to continue to efficiently process new business while simultaneously building infrastructure for the future.
