How do I pull loss runs?
Loss runs may be printed and downloaded by selecting the Claims Search option from Agency Resources or Employer Resources drop-downs. You will then be prompted to log into the Online Business Center and select the appropriate policy number. From that point, simply enter “as of” date and indicate whether the loss runs should be pulled by policy period or policy year. Please note that both you and your client can generate loss runs as long as you have access to the Online Business Center.
How do I add a notice of cancellation and non-renewal to third parties?
Log into the Online Business Center and select the policy that you’d like to add the notice to, then select Request a Third Party Holder Notice from the policy drop-down.
Can the insured pay a down payment via credit card?
No, we do not accept payments via credit card.
Request a quote via ACORD upload
How does upload work?
Simply create an original PDF of your ACORD form (either from your agency management system or with an ACORD fillable PDF/e-form). The upload will read the applicant information and load it directly into Summit’s WriteNow® Online Quoting Service.
To ensure data quality, only original PDFs can be used with uploading. An original or native file refers to an Adobe PDF that has not been converted to another file type (e.g., scanned and saved as a TIFF, JPEG, GIF, etc.) or converted from another file type into a PDF.
Do I need to install anything to be able to upload the ACORD form?
Not at all. Simply log in to our WriteNow Online Quoting Service, click on Request Quote and follow the prompts. If you don’t have a username and password, simply click on Log In from our homepage and then Request a Login.
Is the process of extracting my client’s information from the ACORD form secure?
Yes. Just as with all client and potential client data, Summit takes extensive measures to ensure that all data transfers are encrypted, protected and secure.
What is the benefit of uploading the ACORD form?
Uploading saves time by making duplicate entry a thing of the past, and it eliminates the need for an upload-compatible agency management system. The moment you submit an account via WriteNow, you are listed as the agent of record. You will either receive an instant answer, or the submission will immediately go to your underwriter for review.
