Do Not Call Reminder
United American maintains an Internal Do Not Call Registry. If an Agent or appointment setter makes contact and someone requests not to be called again, that information must be sent to the Home Office (via e-mail, letter, or phone) to the attention of Policy Service. In order for the individual's telephone number to be added to our internal registry, you will need to provide the date of the request, full name, phone number, policy number (if applicable) and address, if available, for anyone to be added.

Agent’s Responsibility When Buying Lists:
• If you intend to market by telephone or mention United American Insurance Company anywhere in your sales approach (phone script, appointment setting, etc.), and you purchase a list of names and telephone numbers from an outside vendor, you must submit your purchased list to UA to be scrubbed against United American’s Do Not Call database. The list must be a delimited ASCII text file format and must be submitted to the Home Office to the attention of Randy Holmes, Information Technology at 3700 S. Stonebridge Drive, McKinney, TX 75070. Please allow seven (7) business days to process the list and return to you.

• Any list you purchase can only be used for three months from the date it was scrubbed, and then you must have the list scrubbed again.

• It is your responsibility to ensure any list you purchase and/or use has been scrubbed against any applicable State list.

• It is the General Agent’s responsibility to notify any new and existing sub-agents (Writing Agents), or any Agents contracted through his/her Agency, of the Do Not Call rules and train those Agents accordingly.

UA News Correction
A footnote on pg. 3 of July issue of UA News incorrectly listed UA's A.M. Best rating as A+ "Excellent." UA remains an A+ "Superior" rated company by A.M. Best. Please see pg. 5 of this issue for more details on UA's ratings.
