How does Pathpoint handle BORs (Broker of Record).
A Broker of Record (BOR) is a legal document designating a specific insurance broker to manage a policy on the policyholder's behalf. This allows the new broker to assume the previous broker's duties without altering the policy itself.
Typically, BORs are not acknowledged mid-term; however, our team can assist in re-coding a policy at its renewal. For individual policies: If the business is with a Pathpoint-appointed carrier, you should provide the following to your account manager for policy re-coding at renewal:
Submit the risk in Pathpoint at least between seven to 30 business days before renewal.
Post submission, email your account manager to inform them of the BOR.
All BOR requests must be on the insured's letterhead, identifying the Retail Agent and Wholesaler/Broker (Pathpoint) as the new agent of record.
The BOR must be signed by the named insured and should list the carrier name, policy number, and policy term dates.
For agency acquisitions or book rolls: If the acquired agency or book of business is with Pathpoint, you should give the following to your account manager for policy re-coding at renewal:
A countersigned contract of sale for the agency acquisition.
Also, provide a list of policies for the book roll, including the carrier name, policy number, and policy term dates. We can recode each policy to the acquiring agency as they renew.
Submit each risk in Pathpoint seven to 30 business days before renewal
