Approved Insurance providers (AIPs) will not need to get an updated application for carryover insureds for the new practice field i.e. premium date required on the application. AIPs must submit one valid practice code for carryover insureds. For any additional Specific coverage endorsement the insured purchases, the AIP will need to endorse the application to include the additional practice code for the additional premium billing date.
