 REQUIRED 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

INFORMATION THAT HELPS

  • When is the quote needed?
  • Target premiums and/or expiring premiums if at all possible
  • What markets have been approached/Who is the competition?
