Front End Notification (File Feeds)
Employer Groups/Plan Sponsors (“Sponsoring Groups”) provide scheduled files to SelmanCo which contain records of individuals that have lost coverage and are allowed the option to continue their insurance coverage. Selman & Company generates a notice of continuation and mails it to the individual. This process fulfills the Sponsoring Group’s responsibility to notify terminated individuals of their portability/conversion rights. The individual contacts SelmanCo to request a coverage quote or an application. Read the file feeds blog to learn more about this aspect of insurance administration.
Application Request Fulfillment
In some cases the Sponsoring Groups decide to retain the continuation notification requirement. Individuals may obtain a notice of continuation form from the Sponsoring Groups and submit it to Selman & Company for fulfillment. Individuals may also contact our customer service department directly to request the quote/application. SelmanCo generates the quote/application form and sends it to the insured. If interested in continuing the coverage, the individual will then complete the application form and submit it along with the required premium.
