Daily, we receive updates from our carriers. The gist of their communication is as follows:
even though their staff may be working from home, they remain available to meet the needs of their clients and business partners with both in-force business and new business.
Additionally, many carriers have taken measures to streamline processes, placed restrictions on applicants who have traveled to certain areas, and made underwriting concessions to encourage new business.
Keep in mind, after all this has passed, insurers could be inclined to increase rates, so it’s a good time to purchase coverage.
Instead of bombarding you with continuous updates from carriers and paramed companies, please contact us if you’d like a current update on any company:

Supporting our agents and carriers, GPAgency also remains open for business. Many of our employees continue to work onsite; those who regularly work remotely are also available. In response to the call for physical distancing, we have implemented the following for the health and well-being of our staff and the greater public:
1) If you need to drop off something, please contact us when you arrive -- we'll arrange "curbside" pick up.
2) We will not be accepting outside visitors, but are available by phone, email, or video conferencing.
3) During this period, our office hours are Monday – Thursday: 8:30 am to 5:00 pm; Friday: 8:30 am - 3:00 pm.
A great option for selling business during these times is utilizing accelerated underwriting. See our most current list of carriers with
Accelerated Underwriting
, which is continuously being updated and can be found on our website: Producer Portal > Forms>
GPA Resources.
Thank you for your support as we work together to meet this challenge!
