New data verification processes for general liability, workers compensation and business owner’s policies

In the coming weeks, we’re introducing new verification processes for certain post-bind and in-force policies.

 

General liability and workers compensation classification verification
In 2021, we launched a classification verification process for in-force business owner’s policies (BOPs). We’ll be expanding that process to in-force and new business GL and workers comp policies by validating class codes and exposures. Policies with inaccurate classifications and/or exposures will be corrected effective as of their renewal dates or backdated to the new business inception date if flagged during the underwriting period. In some states and in some circumstances, we may need to cancel the policy and rewrite it.

 

BOP business personal property coverage verification
We’ll be reviewing certain BOPs to ensure they provide adequate limits for business personal property. If we determine a BOP policy carries insufficient business personal property coverage, we may increase the limits. If one of your client’s policies is impacted, we will contact them directly with next steps. Customers who rent space or have small home-based businesses can request to keep lower limits.

 

Why it matters
When we use inaccurate data to rate policies and make underwriting decisions, our premiums become misaligned with risk profiles, which stifles growth and drives premium increases at renewal. That’s why it’s important to collect accurate data when quoting a policy.

 

With your help, we can stabilize rates to provide a better experience for your clients and help grow your book. Take our new on-demand risk classification training on how to classify risks properly and avoid common errors. Remember to use our Package/Product Determination Tool to route you to the best product fit, and ensure accuracy by providing a detailed description of operations in each quote.

Commercial property policy limit corrections

The limit a client selects for a property policy should offer enough coverage to repair or replace a covered building in the event of a significant loss. If the limit is too low, a client could end up with uninsured expenses and pay out of pocket to return the building to its pre-loss condition. Based on the known characteristics and locations of their properties, some clients have in-force policies with limits less than the estimated replacement costs of their covered buildings. To ensure these policyholders have appropriate coverage, we are starting to correct these policies with appropriate limits at renewal.

Refer to the insurance to value resources for information on how to insure to value, a handout you can share with customers and more.

Changes to Agent of Record process

Effective Sept. 4, we’re making changes to our Agent of Record/Service/Broker of Record (AOR/AOS/BOR) process to make it easier to do business with us.

 

We will no longer require applications for AOR/AOS/BOR on inforce accounts (new business submissions will continue to require applications if we are completing the rating).

 

The letter sent to the gaining agent will now include the following statement: Please be advised that the insured’s coverage will remain as currently written. If you would like to make changes to the existing coverage, such as changing limits, please submit an endorsement request. No reply from you is acknowledgement that the policy is correct.

 

The waiting period will be reduced from 10 to five days.

Some paper cuts feel good

Paper cuts are the worst – except when they make our lives easier and help protect the planet.

 

That’s why we’re working to cut paper from your daily operations, saving you time, money and office space. Here are just a handful of changes we’ve made in recent months:

 

  • Agency copies of policies written in eCLIQ discontinued: We heard these copies head straight to your paper shredder, so we figured we’d give your shredder some much-needed rest. You can still access an online copy within a day of issuing a policy.
  • Third-party memo copies of policies written in eCLIQ® and eCLIQ® Simple™ discontinued: Same deal. Most third parties now accept a certificate of insurance, but if you ever need an extra copy of a policy for a third party, simply access it online and email it.

 

Our commitment to digital

 

Liberty Mutual’s digital capabilities strengthen relationships by helping you meet each business customer’s unique service expectations for speed, convenience and hands-on guidance. Give your customers digital access to help create an unbeatable service experience: 24/7 peace of mind that complements the work you do every day as a trusted advisor.

BOP discontinued in California

Our Commercial Protector (BOP) product has been hard-hit by adverse market trends in California, and while we have taken steps to mitigate them, we do not currently see a path to profitability.

 

Effective Oct. 1, 2023, we will no longer offer our existing BOP product in California, and current BOP business will begin to non-renew Dec. 1, 2023.

 

Access to our other lines of business, including the Comprehensive Package and Custom Protector products, remains unchanged. Some BOP policyholders may be eligible for new business on an alternative package product, subject to current underwriting guidelines and agency-initiated online rating.

New document publishing solution

We’re currently rolling out a new publishing solution that will eventually replace what we’ve been using to print and send policy documents to you and your customers. The first line of business migrated to the new solution will be our business owner’s policy (BOP) product, effective Aug. 28. The most obvious change you’ll notice is that you and your customers will begin receiving identical electronic and printed copies of policies. Other changes – such as the exclusion of blank pages from electronic copies of policy documents – will be minor.

 

Until we migrate other lines of business to the new solution, you will receive BOP policy documents in a separate envelope.
