Q. With the Rate Sample Indicator alert me if the risk has already been submitted through another agent?
A. No, the program will not notify you if the risk has been previously submitted by another agent for a premium indication.

Once received, we will release the quote to you.

Q. What do I do if I want to bind?
A. This program does not give binding authority, however, once you receive your rate indication you may proceed towards a bind request by completing the application.
