The ACORD-User Groups Information Exchange (AUGIE) announced it is promoting a new questionnaire form allowing independent agencies to eliminate carriers' redundant data requests.
The form, Agency Questionnaire (ACORD 812), was developed after agents and brokers expressed concern that too much time is spent filling out multiple questionnaires, according to ACORD, Pearl River, N.Y.
“Every carrier seems to ask agencies the same questions every year,” said Jo Ann Litwin, who chaired the AUGIE working group that addressed the problem. “The questions are generally valid, but many are also redundant from year to year and carrier to carrier.”
