Insurance Policy Administration Process flowchart template
Editable insurance policy administration workflow with swimlanes for Policyholder, Customer Service, Underwriting, two decision gates, correction and review loops, and a documented handoff to the next insurance operation.
What the insurance policy administration process flowchart process is
This policy administration template follows a specific operating record from request policy service to send confirmation and retain change history. The Policyholder, Customer Service, Underwriting, Policy Operations lanes show who gathers information, who evaluates it, and who owns the final handoff. Adapt the roles and documents to your product and distribution model.
The first gate asks whether information complete. An incomplete case goes through request supporting information and returns to validation. The later gate asks whether change accepted and effective; a failed review goes through resolve declined or disputed request before the decision is reconsidered. Record the reason at each branch so the next team can reconstruct the outcome.
This is an operational starting point. Coverage terms, authority limits, notices and required records vary by insurer, product and jurisdiction; the diagram does not establish regulatory compliance or decide an individual customer's entitlement.

How it works
Map the actors
Replace the example lanes with the actual teams that perform log requested change and effective date, approve or refer change under authority and update policy record and issue endorsement. Keep a separate lane for any independent decision owner.
Define the intake check
Specify the information and evidence needed before the Information complete? gate can pass. Put the owner of request supporting information on the return loop.
Set the decision authority
Document who may decide change accepted and effective? and what sends a case through resolve declined or disputed request. Use your own product terms and authority matrix.
Confirm the handoff
Check the output of update policy record and issue endorsement against what the receiving team needs to complete send confirmation and retain change history.
