A commercial premium audit is a methodical examination of a policyholder’s operations, records, and books to determine the actual insurance exposure for the coverage provided. The need for premium audits arises because many insurance policies, including Workers’ Compensation, General Liability, and Contractor policies are based on estimates when underwritten. These policy types provide for an adjustment of the premium according to the exposures actually incurred during the policy term. We conduct a premium audit on all commercial new business (with audible exposures) within 60 days of the expiration date of the policy. Premium audits may be physical audits with an independent auditor making an appointment with you to review financial and business records, or it may be in the form of a self-audit mailed to you for completion and return. If you have questions about the audit process, need to request an audit worksheet, or need to dispute a commercial audit, please contact the Premium Audit Customer Service line at 800 877-0600 ext. 7236 during business hours.

YES! We generally identify insurance fraud issues in two areas of our business and both have an adverse impact on you as a consumer. First, the submission of fraudulent claims is an increasing problem and, second, false or incomplete information is being submitted by individuals for the purpose of obtaining a lower price for the insurance products they want to purchase. Both of these fraudulent activities adversely impact honest consumers by increasing the costs of insurance for everyone. If you identify someone who is committing insurance fraud, you can help by contacting our Special Investigation Unit at 800 877-0600.
