Although many employers are satisfied with their insurance carrier, this may not be the case for the representative. In many instances, the employer retains the right to change representatives. A simple letter to the carrier requesting to change the Broker of Record is usually required for the change.
Lastly, we have an outstanding reputation for turnaround time. We make every attempt to respond to inquiries or any given situation on the same day received. ** Number One Priority – Customer Service and Satisfaction
