Arbella Insurance Group - Here for good
Greetings!

Arbella is introducing an easy-to-use online reinstatement tool for MA PPA policies that will give you more options, control and flexibility. This new enhancement will immediately let you know whether a policy is eligible for reinstatement, and then the method of reinstatement is up to you!

 

Easy to Find on Arbella Connect

Simply search on the policy number or policyholder name to access the policy inquiry screens. Click on the new REINSTATEMENT REQUEST on the TRANSACTIONS bar located above the policyholder name.

Immediate Eligibility Feature

One of three messages will display to let you know whether the policy is eligible for reinstatement:

  • This policy is eligible for reinstatement.
  • This policy is not eligible for reinstatement due to [reason].
  • This policy is not eligible for online reinstatement.

Example:       PL email image 2    

           

Eligible Policies-Three Options Available

If the policy is eligible, you decide which option to select. Click on the option, follow the screen instructions and e-submit the request to Arbella for processing. It's that easy!

  • Process reinstatement (agent will collect No Loss Statement and payment)
  • Utilize verbal reinstatement process (policyholder will call Arbella to provide verbal No Loss Statement and electronic payment)
  • Do not reinstate (includes optional comment box)

 

Eligible Policies-History Feature

Eligible policies will include a history of prior reinstatement requests for your convenience.
