The Top Hat Program can be a simple daily routine.
With every standard non-can disability policy you receive in
your office for delivery.
- Determine if the insured has achieved "The 65% Solution"
with the non-can carrier. (The chart on the previous page is
a guideline to help you identify a potential prospect).
- If the non-can carrier fell short of participating up to 65% of the insured's income, fax or email a copy of the newly issued policy to Petersen International Underwriters. Please let us know at that time that this is a Top Hat Program prospect and be sure a copy
of the non-can carrier's application is included.
- Within 1-2 working days, Petersen International will then
prepare an offer for the additional automatic issue coverage
through The Top Hat Program. An insurance offer, A Top Hat
Application and an Authorization will be emailed to you.
- You will then want to advise your client that you have wonderful news and because of "value added" service
you were able to obtain a supplemental disability program which will solve "The 65% Problem".
- You can now deliver the non-can policy and present the client with the Top Hat offer. By collecting the premium and obtaining a signature on the offer, authorization and Top Hat application, coverage would be bound and a policy issued once it is received in our office.
Dear Broker,
We have the capacity to issue supplemental disability insurance to
your client based on their successful underwriting of the enclosed
non-cancelable policy. The U.S. Department of Labor Statistics
advises that people must have a cash flow equal to 65% of net
earned income or they will fall behind financially.
It appears to us that your client may be underinsured even after you place this non-cancelable policy. We have taken the liberty of having your client pre-approved for the attached "Top Hat" supplemental disability insurance plan. By obtaining a signature
on the "Offer of Insurance", the "Authorization", the "Top Hat
Application" and collecting the additional premium, coverage will
be bound and a policy issued as soon as these items are received
in the Home Office.
This supplemental disability coverage is underwritten by Lloyd's
of London (a 367 year-old firm) and administered by Petersen
International Underwriters (a 30 year correspondent to Lloyd's
of London). The coverage is the best supplemental high limit
disability insurance in the market. If you have any questions in
regards to the coverage we encourage you to call us. This is just
another way that we work hard to bring you value added services.
Sincerely,
Petersen International Underwriters want you to understand how they protect the confidentiality of non-public
personal information they collected about you.
PIU collects non-public information about you from numerous sources including, but not limited to:
- Information PIU receives from you on applications and other forms;
- Information about your transactions with the affiliates, others or PIU;
- Information PIU receives from consumer-reporting agencies; and
- Financial and medical sources.
PIU does not disclose any non-public information about you to anyone except as is necessary in order to provide
the products or services to you or otherwise as required or permitted by law (e.g. subpoena, fraud
investigation, regulatory reporting, etc.).
PIU restricts access to non-public personal information about you to PIU's employees, PIU's affiliates' employees or others who need to know that information to service your account. PIU maintains physical, electronic and procedural safeguards to protect your non-public personal information.
If you have any further questions about this privacy statement or would like to learn more about how PIU protects
your privacy, please contact us.
