Eastbridge publishes latest report on voluntary short-term disability market and products.

AVON, CONNECTICUT, USA (August 31, 2017)

Voluntary short-term disability (VSTD) continues to be an essential and expected part of any carrier’s voluntary product portfolio. As the number of employers offering traditional employer-paid short-term disability coverage continues to decrease, voluntary coverage is filling the gap and fueling the need for products with flexible benefits that are still affordable.

The purpose of this report is to help carriers stay current on the VSTD products offered in the market. It includes 21 carrier participants representing 25 different VSTD products. The report includes:

• General market and carrier information
• Detailed product features and benefits
• Underwriting guidelines
• Rates and premium structure
• Commission and compensation
• Current trends and challenges surrounding the VSTD market

With this data, carriers can compare their product’s features, benefits, pricing and underwriting guidelines to other products in the marketplace.
