| COMPANY PROFILE | Kansas Mutual Insurance Q&A with Dan Scott & Mike Perkins Tell us about Kansas Mutual: Kansas Mutual Insurance is all Kansas through and through. Since 1895, we have been working with independent agencies across the state to service the insurance needs of Kansans in all 105 counties. Our steady approach and solid relationships with independent agencies has allowed us to offer stable and reliable insurance services through decades of hard and soft market fluctuations. Our services, products and technologies continue to grow and improve, as does our commitment to independent agents across the state. Dan Scott President & Executive Manager [email protected] Kansas Mutual Insurance offers time-tested, competitive and dependable personal lines services in our Deluxe Homeowners, Standard Homeowners, Farm Protector, Dwelling Fire and Mobile Homeowners programs. On Dwelling Fire policies we can include premises liability coverage to make a nice package policy. We also have Inland Marine endorsements available in all lines of business. What makes Kansas Mutual unique? Kansas Mutual Insurance is a hands-on company that prides itself on prompt, efficient and personal interaction with our independent agents and our insureds. Be it a claim, billing or underwriting inquiry, our insureds and agents are able to speak with those who can assist them best in the timeliest manner possible with no call centers or run-arounds. Possibly our most unique product offering is our Limited Replacement Cost Provision in the Dwelling Fire Program. Many companies do not offer this provision or require the dwelling to be insured at 80% or more of replacement cost in order to be eligible. Our Limited Replacement Cost Coverage only requires qualified dwellings to be insured at 50% of replacement cost in order to have replacement cost coverage on partial losses. What are the company’s future plans? Our primary objective is to still offer the timely and personal interactions we have always offered. However, we are pleased to announce that Kansas Mutual will have its new software development completed soon which includes a complete update to how our agents and insureds conduct business with Kansas Mutual. Our agents will soon be able to quote, bind and submit new applications as well as handle endorsements, claims and billing matters via our web panel interface. We will also continue to go live with agency download capabilities for more and more of the agencies that do business with Kansas Mutual Insurance. 28 KANSAS INSURANCE AGENT & BROKER |July-August 2015| MIKE PERKINS Assistant Executive Manager & Underwriting Supervisor [email protected] About Kansas Mutual Insurance Headquarters: Topeka, Kansas Year Established: 1895 Years in Kansas: 120 years Counties Served: All Kansas counties How to get an appointment To discuss potential appointments, contact Dan Scott or Mike Perkins by email or call them at 785-354-8452
