What the insurance renewal process flowchart process is

This renewals template follows a specific operating record from identify policy nearing expiry to issue renewed policy or close term. The Policyholder, Policy Operations, Underwriting, Broker / Agent 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 renewal review updates risk information and pricing before an offer is sent. If no reply arrives, the follow-up route checks the response before expiry. Acceptance issues a renewed policy; a decline or lapse closes the term under the applicable policy terms.

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.

What this flowchart covers

In this template

  • Review and Reprice: review cover, claims and changed risk and check data needed for renewal
  • A correction loop from information current? to request and record changes
  • Offer: reprice or refer for underwriting review and prepare renewal terms and notification
  • An exception route through follow up or process non-renewal path
  • Closure through record acceptance or expiry outcome and issue renewed policy or close term

When to use this template

  • You need to assign ownership across Policyholder, Policy Operations, Underwriting for renewals work
  • Cases regularly pause for missing information or unclear authority and need a visible return path
  • You are updating a procedure and want staff to compare actual handoffs with the documented path

How it works

  1. Map the actors

    Replace the example lanes with the actual teams that perform review cover, claims and changed risk, prepare renewal terms and notification and record acceptance or expiry outcome. Keep a separate lane for any independent decision owner.

  2. Define the intake check

    Specify the information and evidence needed before the Information current? gate can pass. Put the owner of request and record changes on the return loop.

  3. Set the decision authority

    Document who may decide customer response received? and what sends a case through follow up or process non-renewal path. Use your own product terms and authority matrix.

  4. Confirm the handoff

    Check the output of record acceptance or expiry outcome against what the receiving team needs to complete issue renewed policy or close term.
