Carrier appetite summary

Product focus - Monoline workers’ compensation written through MEMIC and MEMIC group companies; marketed via independent agents. Active in Maine and most of the U.S. (stated as 46 states plus D.C.).([memic.com](https://www.memic.com/agents/become-a-memic-agent?utm_source=openai)) Preferred / target business - Risks that value workplace safety and are willing to engage with MEMIC’s loss control and return‑to‑work services (strong cultural emphasis on safety and partnership in underwriting/claims).([memic.com](https://memic.com/about-memic?utm_source=openai)) - Middle‑market accounts are a strategic focus (referenced in Champion Circle/agency marketing material), with appetite managed through production underwriters by territory.([irp.cdn-website.com](https://irp.cdn-website.com/a63ec802/files/uploaded/Champion-Circle-One-Sheet.pdf?utm_source=openai)) Geographic notes - MEMIC is licensed/writing workers’ comp in 46 states plus D.C.; Maine is the historical core and residual‑market role, but agents may submit eligible business in licensed states via appointed producer relationships.([memic.com](https://www.memic.com/agents/become-a-memic-agent?utm_source=openai)) Submission requirements (standard workers comp new business) Required items for all new business submissions to Underwriting:([memic.com](https://www.memic.com/agents/become-a-memic-agent/submission-guidelines?utm_source=openai)) - Completed ACORD 130 Workers’ Compensation Application including: - Number of employees for each classification - Full answers to General Information questions - Explanations for all “YES” answers - Detailed Description of Operations - Physical location address(es) for all locations - Current NCCI Experience Modification worksheet - Currently‑valued loss runs for current policy term plus three prior years (valued within 6 months of application) - Premium and payroll history for current term plus three prior years Binding conditions - Coverage cannot be bound until a MEMIC underwriter has reviewed and formally approved the account. - Even after approval, coverage is not bound until MEMIC receives either: - Required deposit premium payment, or - A completed Comp‑As‑You‑Go intent form - Original application must be signed by both the applicant and the producing agent/producer. - Effective date will be no earlier than 24 hours after the postmark on the envelope carrying the deposit premium or Comp‑As‑You‑Go intent form (for mailed items).

Prospective agents complete an Application for Authorization (DocuSign or PDF) and must hold appropriate Maine (including non‑resident where needed) licenses; upon approval, the agency is authorized to submit Maine business, and broader MEMIC group opportunities may be discussed by Underwriting leadership.([memic.com](https://www.memic.com/agents/become-a-memic-agent?utm_source=openai)) - Existing agents are directed to: - Review MEMIC’s Agent Submission Guidelines (same core as Submission Guidelines page) and - Send submissions via the submissions email, mailing address, or fax noted above. - Operational expectation is relationship‑driven, “old‑school” underwriting: production underwriters are responsible for growth and profit in their territory; agents are encouraged to contact underwriters for risk discussions, questions, and QuickComp rating assistance.([memic.com](https://www.memic.com/agents?utm_source=openai)) Restricted/declined classes - MEMIC does not publish a detailed public appetite grid or explicit class‑by‑class decline list on the accessible producer pages. Appetite and any restricted or declined classes are managed directly by territory underwriters; agents are instructed to contact Underwriting for specific eligibility and class discussions and to confirm fit before marketing or submitting edge‑of‑appetite classes.([memic.com](https://www.memic.com/agents/agency-support?utm_source=openai)) Operational notes for underwriters/agents - Ensure all submissions are complete (ACORD 130, mod, full 4 years of loss runs and payroll/premium) to avoid delays; incomplete files will typically be pended for additional information before underwriting review. - No authority is granted to agents to bind workers’ comp; all binding authority remains with MEMIC Underwriting subject to the deposit/Comp‑As‑You‑Go and signed‑application conditions above. - Use QuickComp (MEMIC’s rating/quoting portal) for indicative quotes; final pricing and terms are subject to underwriter approval and may differ from portal indications following review of loss history, operations, and safety culture.([memic.com](https://www.memic.com/agents/agency-support?utm_source=openai))
