Insolvency Gap—AXPRO
AXPRO—Agents Extra Protector is designed for insurance companies that are financially strong, but are not AM Best rated or are rated lower than B++. The AM Best rating factor can sometimes discourage agents from working with an otherwise stable carrier. That is mostly because of the agent’s own professional liability policy. These professional liability policies typically have an insolvency exclusion that excludes coverage for business written with insurance companies that are not rated by AM Best or are rated lower than B++. The agents fear an underlying claim may go unpaid if the insurance company becomes bankrupt. The result could be messy and expensive for the agent. Consequently, agents may avoid writing business with some very good insurance companies that are excluded from the agent’s professional liability policy.
How does AXPRO work?
- AXPRO is purchased by qualifying insurance companies who designate the agent(s) they want to cover. Individual agents cannot purchase the coverage for themselves.
- If the insurance company becomes insolvent and cannot pay an underlying claim, the AXPRO policy will drop down to provide the agent with insolvency gap coverage.
- The insurance company can purchase the coverage for one or more agents.
- The insurance company will be provided a Certificate of Insurance naming the selected agent(s) to be protected.
- The insolvency fear is reduced, so covered agents have more incentive to write business with the purchasing insurance company.
