The Registered Health Underwriter (RHU®) designation is a professional credential for individuals specializing in disability income and health insurance. Historically, it was conferred by The American College of Financial Services. However, as of January 1, 2017, the National Association of Benefits and Insurance Professionals (NABIP) acquired the RHU designation. Since then, the RHU program has been discontinued for new students, but existing designees can maintain their certification through NABIP by fulfilling continuing professional credit requirements every two years.
