ACCOUNTING: UNDERWRITING
Billing
Account
Current – All agencies contracted with
Med James, Inc. are on Account Current. The following
is an example of how Account Current is billed:
• The
billing cycle begins with the closing of the month
on the first business day after month
end (example: month end is Friday, January 31: January
is closed on Monday, February 3).
• The month-end close process produces the Account Current
statements for the prior month (January). This takes
from one to two business days for the statements to
be printed, sorted, reviewed and mailed by the end
of the fifth business day (example: The January statements
would be mailed to the agency by Friday, February 7).
• The terms for Account Current is payment within thirty
days after the date of the monthly statement which
is always the last day of billing month (example: The
payment of the January Account Current statement mailed
to the agency on February 7 is due at Med James, Inc.
by February 28).
Brokerage – Some
companies require full premium payment anywhere from
5 to 15 days after binding. This
will be indicated on both the quote sheet and by invoice
that accompanies the binder. Business placed with these
companies requires terms not compatible with the Account
Current method and are paid according to the invoice.
Premium Financing
Med James, Inc. can provide optional premium financing,
but does not provide this service unless requested
by the producer. Acceptance of the financing proposal
must be in writing and accompany the binding request.
Med James, Inc. will not accept any outside premium
financing.
