Job Description

American Para Professional Systems, Inc. (APPS) is the nation’s leading provider of mobile life/disability insurance exam services. With over 100 offices across the country, we have an impeccable reputation for completing high-quality work in a professional manner.

• When an individual decides to purchase a life and/or disability insurance policy, one of the most common requirements is medical screening.
• This medical screening must be performed by an independent contractor who is in no way associated with the insurance company.
• APPS works in conjunction with the insurance company to get this exam completed.

THE HEALTH SCREENING:

• As an Independent Contractor/Examiner with APPS, you will be completing these health screenings.
• This can be done in the client’s home, their work, the agent’s office, or the APPS office, whichever is most convenient for your client. Some of the health screenings require a short medical history questionnaire/interview.
• This is similar to the medical questions you might answer when going for your annual physical.
• The medical questionnaire may include questions about the client’s medical history, present or previous illnesses, injuries, and surgeries as well as any medications they may be taking.
• You will need to document the dates for their medical history along with the treating provider with their address and phone number.
• You will also be required to obtain the client’s physical measurements which include their height, weight, blood pressure, pulse, and hip/waist measurement.
• A blood and urine specimen is usually collected and from time to time a saliva sample will be required.
• The venipuncture is done with a vacutainer and 2 tubes are collected. It is imperative that your phlebotomy skills be up to par!
• From time to time, you may be asked to perform an EKG on your client.
• You will take a portable machine with you to the exam to obtain the EKG reading. We are happy to train you to do EKG's if this is not already a skill you possess.
• Once you have completed the exam, you will prepare the samples for shipping and send us the paperwork. The health screening usually takes anywhere from 15 – 45 minutes depending on the requirements.
