Can we take over your policy?

QUICK ANSWER

Choose the carrier on your policy, the state your business is in and the line of coverage. The checker applies the same rules the CoverMatch wallet uses: if the carrier accepts a change of agent and we are appointed with it, one e-signature moves the policy and nothing about the coverage changes. If not, it tells you why and offers a replacement quote.

What the checker looks at

Three facts decide whether a policy can move: whether the carrier accepts a change of agent, whether CoverMatch is appointed with that carrier for that line of coverage in your state, and whether your state is one where we are licensed. The checker answers from those three, using the same carrier rules the wallet applies when you upload a policy.

Why the carrier matters more than the agency

The agency that sold you the policy does not decide whether it can move; the carrier does. Most carriers that work through independent agents accept a signed change-of-agent letter at any time, some only in the weeks before renewal, and carriers that sell directly do not take agent changes at all.

When the answer is no

A no today is not the end of it. The checker offers a replacement quote from the carriers we work with, or you can upload the policy and choose a reminder before it renews, so the comparison happens while there is still time to switch.

Questions people actually ask

What does it mean to move a policy to CoverMatch?

It is a change of agent, often called a broker of record change. Your carrier, policy number, coverage and price stay exactly as they are. CoverMatch becomes the agency that services the policy, and the carrier pays us instead of your old agent.

Why can some policies not move?

Some carriers sell directly and do not work with agents, some only allow a change at renewal, and we can only take over policies with carriers we are appointed with in your state. When a policy cannot move, the checker says which of these applies.

What is a rewrite?

A few carriers do not allow a change of agent on an existing policy. With those, we write a new policy with the same carrier and coverage through CoverMatch, and cancel the old one for the day the new one starts so there is no gap.

Is the answer final?

It is a first answer from the carrier, state and line. The wallet confirms it when you upload the policy, because the policy has to be in force and not already serviced by our agency through another program. A licensed agent can review anything unclear.

Do I have to create an account to use it?

No. The check runs without an account and nothing you enter is saved. You only sign in when you want to bring the policy into your wallet.
