Most Blitz submissions quote and bind without ever leaving the platform. However, when a submission falls outside our automated guidelines, it’s referred to a Blitz underwriter for review. A referral isn’t a decline. It’s a second look from an experienced underwriter who can often find a way to write the risk, with modified terms if needed. Here’s what triggers a referral, what to expect during review, and how to reach us when you need an answer quickly.
- Turnaround Time
Average referral turnaround time is 24 hours excluding weekends and holidays. For urgent referral requests or questions contact 1-877-442-5489 Mon - Fri (7am-7pm CST). - Referral Triggers
High-risk locations, adverse loss history, special coverage, gaps in coverage, crime score, or premium size may trigger underwriting referrals for manual review. - Underwriter Evaluation
Underwriters analyze exposures, review documentation, and assess if the risk fits the Blitz's appetite and guidelines. The underwriter may ask for additional info during their review to make a final determination. - Decision Outcomes
Decisions can approve, modify, or decline risks, guiding policy issuance and ensuring profitability and fairness.
Once you have a quote, binding on the Blitz platform takes just a few steps. You choose how your client pays, agency bill or direct bill, with options to pay in full or finance, and set up installments at binding. Because Blitz writes on a non-admitted basis, there are a few surplus lines requirements to know about. We handle surplus lines taxes, filings, and diligent search on your behalf, so you can focus on your client. The resources below cover payment options, billing, and surplus lines compliance.
