Underwriters are the folks who acces a risk or an insurance application and determine if it meets the Insurance companies underwriting guidelines and capacity for the coverage selected.
Probably not. Many factors are considered by underwriters of insurance companies in determining if a risk will be insured and how much the premium will be. //
Underwriters assess whether an insurance candidate is worth the risk. They assess whether the company will make money insuring the person.
Many insurance agents earn their money by commission. If they do not earn commission, many would make around $25,000 and more yearly.

Much of what insurance brokers earn is based on what type of insurance they are selling. Some of the large companies' (New York Life, Northwestern Mutual) top producers earn upward of $2 million dollars per year selling insurance and financial planning services.
Yes. Different insurance companies often have different underwriters. Just because you get benefits and provide payment to your insurance company, doesn't mean they actually are the one insuring your health. They actually have their own underwriters who say yes or no on whether a person is insurable. They pay their own fees and get benefits from that underwriter. So when you provide information to your insurance company, they actually forward it on to their underwriters so there's that extra chance of identify theft and if you change insurance companies because of a dispute, if the new company has the same underwriter they will know the whole story. Confused yet?
