INFORMATION
-
Combined’s Middle Market Department typically works on a
3-4 week minimum
lead-time
(until the quote is needed, not necessarily the effective
date). Anything less than this narrows our market options and our chances of
producing a quote in time to make any price adjustments that may be needed.
-
Fully completed Acord applications for each line of coverage requested
(supplemental applications may be required for some risks).
-
Currently valued
loss runs for the three previous years
(five years preferred) are required for all submissions.
-
NCCI Experience Modifier worksheets are required
(if applicable) for all Workers' Compensation submissions
