Underwriter – An underwriter evaluates the insurance company’s risk of providing coverage – whether it’s for a car, home, or health insurance – and then determines the price and premium for that coverage. Underwriters are often required to have a bachelor’s degree, but it could be an entry-level position that can be filled with work experience.
Licensed Insurance Agent – Licensed insurance agents can work from home. To become a licensed agent, check your state’s requirements and enroll in pre-requisite training followed by the state licensure exam.
Registered Nurse – Registered nurses can work from home for health insurance companies in a variety of ways. You can provide services and support directly to physicians’ offices or patients. You may also review case data for workers’ compensation claims or review documentation to make sure proper care is being provided.
Analysts – Analysts play an important role in the insurance industry. They may review insurance policies and assess the risks associated with them for the benefit of policyholders and of course the insurance company. This position usually requires a bachelor’s degree.
