Take Action Report How to Run
This report is very helpful for locating customers who have a payment issue or called during the free look period. The sent from SureBridge (which serves the same purpose) is often redacted to only basic information, due to HIPAA/GLBA restrictions on sending information via unencrypted . This report contains enough contact information for you to immediately reach out to your customer. What is on the Take Action Report? Initial payment failures for bank drafts and credit cards Recurring payment failures for bank drafts and credit cards Direct Bills which have gone past the paid to date with no payments Customers who cancelled in the free look period All of these scenarios stay on the Take Action report for approximately 30 days past the paid to date/effective date and are then removed. Format differences: Excel pulls tabs by agent CSV pulls everything on to one sheet. ©2016 SureBridge | Proprietary and Confidential.

Book of Business (BOB) Report FAQs
Common BOB Questions I can’t see all my Book of Business: The BOB report pulls in customers based on the application date. If the “From” date is not adjusted back to the first day an agency was appointed to Chesapeake/SureBridge, the entire Book of Business may not be not pulled. Also, some customers will fall off of the BOB report if they have lapsed, cancelled, or did not make it past new business based on certain time frames. See below for more information: Policies which are cancelled or declined in New Business will come off of the BOB after 90 days A Policy record with the status “Rescission”, “Payment Failed”, “Payment Not Received”, “Cancellation in Free Look Period,” Cancelled after issue – Surrendered” or “Terminated” shall be removed from the output results 365 days after the referenced status date. I am getting a timeout when pulling my entire Book of Business: If your BOB is very large, it might make sense to pull it in one-year sections and combine it. This is a web service call and can time out if the request is more than can be provided in a few minutes. ©2016 SureBridge | Proprietary and Confidential.
