Application Status For your convenience, you may access https://producer.manhattanlife.com/life/account/ login.aspx?AsAgent at any time to verify the processing status of a submitted application. Declined Appeals If the applicant wishes to appeal his/her declined application, a written request must be submitted by the applicant to the Underwriting Manager within 60 days of the decision. If more than 60 days have passed since the decline, the applicant will be required to submit a new application and a telephone interview will be completed. All appeals require medical records pertaining to the condition for which the applicant was declined. It is the responsibility of the applicant to obtain his/her medical records, as Standard Life does not make such requests. Medical records must be submitted to the Underwriting Department directly from the physician’s office and will not be accepted if submitted by the applicant or agent. Please note that Standard Life does not reimburse any fees associated with obtaining medical records or other supporting documentation pertaining to the requested appeal. The written request and medical records may be faxed to 1-713-583-2738 and directed to the attention of the Short-Term Care Underwriting Manager. The request and records may also be mailed to the physical address or post office box noted on page 25 of this Guide.
