NU Online News Service, Feb. 7, 2:40 a.m. EST?The Professional Insurance Agents of New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and New Hampshire said they have activated a new online facility where members can get needed industry business information.[@@]
The resource, "Ask PIA," is part of the four-state partnership's Industry Resource Center, based in Glenmont, N.Y.
It said its member-exclusive online data-base is a place where members can go for answers to many of the questions routinely asked of the association.
"Insurance professionals face demands every day and they usually need the answer quickly," said Shirley Albright, director, PIA Industry Resource Center.
She said, "Agents are faced with companies that have strict underwriting requirements, clients protesting their premiums, and in-depth coverage questions that need to be researched.
"By using 'Ask PIA,' insurance professionals can get answers to all these questions as well as other legal, technical, legislative and regulatory questions. The range of topics is all-inclusive and more questions are added to the database each day."
The site is searchable by keyword or members can view a complete state index listing. It also has links to other PIA-member benefits, including the Technical Hotline, E&O assistance, BusinessLink, Circle of Consultants and the Agency Transition program.
In addition to viewing previously asked questions, "Ask PIA" allows members to ask a question that will be answered in a timely manner.
"Ask PIA" is accessible through PIA's Web site, www.piaonline.org, and then by clicking the "Ask PIA" button.
