Humans, not numbers.

Complete Understanding

Accurate underwriting requires far more than just data.

We don’t do business by algorithm. Important decisions about people’s lives depend on having the right information – and we know that fair, accurate, dependable insurance underwriting can only come from a complete understanding of each individual’s needs and circumstances.

Underwriting is a complex, nuanced process that can’t be answered simply by the application of “big data”.

A process built on trust.

“Cipher Health Advisory organised my health screening at One Welbeck, which included a review of my insurances. To my surprise, my Liver Function Tests and Cholesterol were raised which resulted in premiums for life insurance and critical illness cover being higher than they should be. After three months of regular use of Deliverance, all my markers are reduced and my insurance premiums have similarly been reduced by over 50%. I have experienced other benefits of using Deliverance, including much greater mental clarity.”

What our clients say.

“I embarked on the journey with Cipher Health Advisory as I was keen to review my current health. As part of this process, Cipher Risk conducted a review of my insurances and found I had a gap in cover. Following my medical and blood tests, I was shocked at the results of my blood tests that made me an uninsurable proposition due raised liver function tests and high cholesterol. I was introduced to Deliverance, which I took daily for a three-month period, and then had these tests repeated. To my amazement, my liver function tests had all lowered to within the normal range and my cholesterol levels are reducing. Apart from the personal relief that my results are so much better, I am delighted the team at Cipher Risk have been able to secure competitive premiums for life cover.”
