Billing

Lovell’s underwriting staff are here to help and can assist you in understanding the carrier’s billing.

In addition, we can assist in arranging the payment plan that best meets your needs. As part of our comprehensive service our underwriters periodically review your deposit premium bills for the proper manual rates, classifications, estimated payrolls, and locations.

When we receive a copy of your first bill, we send a notice reminding you to check the following:

  • Is your company name, address and phone number correct or have there been any changes?
  • Have you had a change in personnel that would affect to whom correspondence should be directed?
  • Have you added or eliminated locations?
  • Should additional business names be added or deleted from your bill?
  • Is the payroll estimate accurate?
  • Are the proper classifications shown?
