American Para Professional Systems, Inc. (APPS) is the nation’s leading provider of mobile life/disability insurance exam services. With over 100 offices across the country, we have an impeccable reputation for completing high-quality work in a professional manner.
HOW WE WORK:
- When an individual decides to purchase a life and/or disability insurance policy, one of the most common requirements is medical screening.
- This medical screening must be performed by an independent contractor who is in no way associated with the insurance company.
- APPS works in conjunction with the insurance company to get this exam completed.
THE HEALTH SCREENING:
- As an Independent Contractor/Examiner with APPS, you will be completing these health screenings.
- This can be done in the client’s home, their work, the agent’s office, or the APPS office, whichever is most convenient for your client. Some of the health screenings require a short medical history questionnaire/interview.
- This is similar to the medical questions you might answer when going for your annual physical.
- The medical questionnaire may include questions about the client’s medical history, present or previous illnesses, injuries, and surgeries as well as any medications they may be taking.
- You will need to document the dates for their medical history along with the treating provider with their address and phone number.
- You will also be required to obtain the client’s physical measurements which include their height, weight, blood pressure, pulse, and hip/waist measurement.
- A blood and urine specimen is usually collected and from time to time a saliva sample will be required.
- The venipuncture is done with a vacutainer and 2 tubes are collected. It is imperative that your phlebotomy skills be up to par!
- From time to time, you may be asked to perform an EKG on your client.
- You will take a portable machine with you to the exam to obtain the EKG reading. We are happy to train you to do EKG's if this is not already a skill you possess.
- Once you have completed the exam, you will prepare the samples for shipping and send us the paperwork. The health screening usually takes anywhere from 15 – 45 minutes depending on the requirements.
