Corporate Announcement:
High Net Worth Transition
On May 1st, 2024, Orchid's Admitted HNW team officially transitioned to Halcyon Underwriters! Halcyon is part of Brown & Brown's Wholesale Division. All policy documents and correspondence will have the Halcyon name on it moving forward. Please read on for more information:
Important Quick Facts
-
Orchid’s E&S HNW business will not be impacted - only Admitted HNW policies written directly through the HNW team are impacted. Your portal credentials remain the same to access Orchid's E&S markets.
-
Continue to use your existing Orchid HNW account managers/contacts, portal logins, and HNW applications.
-
Agencies already appointed to Orchid’s Admitted HNW will not be required to go through a new appointment process with Halcyon to submit new risks or service existing admitted HNW policies.
-
It’s business as usual. Continue to submit risks through the normal channels until further notice from Halcyon
If you have any questions, please contact the High Net Worth team at hnw@halcyonuw.com or 978-548-3797.
DE Agents Only: Renewal State Forms
Prior to the renewal effective date for all Direct Bill policies, a completed and signed SL1923 form must be submitted to forms@orchidinsurance.com, not the Agent Servicing Portal, to avoid nonrenewal. If a nonrenewal was issued, please include this with your form submission so corrective action can take place.
For Agency Bill policies, all required forms must be submitted to the quoting platform prior to binding a policy.
Should you have any questions, please contact our Surplus Lines Tax and Compliance Manager, Donna Ferris, at dferris@orchidinsurance.com.
