Marblehead, MA ­ February 23, 2006 – SLG Benefits and Insurance, LLC is pleased to announce a straightforward and streamlined process for Renewal Policy Issuance. With respect to Excess Loss Policies with QBE Insurance Corporation, we will no longer require a new Application and Schedule of Insurance to be completed for groups that are renewing with SLG. In the place of multiple documents requiring TPA, Producer and client review and endorsement; SLG will issue a QBE Renewal Amendment. This Amendment updates the Schedule of Insurance issued on the initial QBE / SLG effective date for the new Policy Period. The QBE Renewal Amendment, once signed by the Policyholder and the QBE / SLG, is then attached to and will be made part of the Excess Loss Policy for the new plan year. This new process is part of the continued effort by SLG and QBE to provide our Producer and TPA business partners with tools and resources to help work more efficiently with an ease in administrative requirements.
