Pre-Issuance Proposal Verification (PIPV)

Insurance fraud doesn’t always begin at the time of claim—it often starts right at the proposal stage. Applicants may misrepresent their identity, age, income, health history, or nominee details to gain favorable policy terms or future claim eligibility. If such risks go undetected, they lead to early and avoidable losses.

CLAIMLAB’s Pre-Issuance Proposal Verification (PIPV) Service is a critical tool for underwriters. It ensures that every policy issued is based on authentic, truthful, and verifiable information. Our process investigates the applicant’s identity, address, occupation, nominee details, and—where required—health disclosures.

Whether it’s a term policy, ULIP, endowment, or health cover, our verification service allows you to filter out high-risk or misrepresented proposals before onboarding, ensuring that the book of business remains healthy and compliant.

PIPV is especially useful for:

  • High-sum assured cases

  • Cases flagged by automated underwriting rules

  • Rural, unbanked, or untraceable applicant areas

  • Occupations with high risk or unverifiable income

Our hybrid verification models—including physical field visits, tele-verification, and geo-tagged video calls—offer insurers the flexibility to choose methods based on budget, geography, and case sensitivity.
