I only took them on as a replacement for NGL GI. The main reason for NGL was that they took DE cards, which they've stopped. I also didn't like Vantis extreme chargeback provisions. I've got Gerber as an option, but their chargeback provisions, while better, are still hefty. GWIC is a good compromise. The only reason I'm asking is because I was quoting a guy with CHF who's been under control on same meds for several years, and if they'll take him on immediate ben, so much the better. If not, then so be it. I just wish they weren't so vague about it!Personally, I only use them in the extreme niche situations where I cannot get them level or graded coverage elsewhere. Examples would be congestive heart failure, some cardiac issues, and combination health problems normally only qualifiable for modified-type products. There is no good reason to write your bread and butter business with Great Western because: 1) Advance business is limited to 50%. 2) Max dollar advance per case is limited to $500, and 3) Onerous beginning charge back provisions cause your as-earned income to be repayable if the policy lapses within the first 90 days. Basically, I instruct my agents to use Great Western for the screwball cases we can't get placement elsewhere.
