MarketScout has developed five programs, in addition to CIC Select, which are exclusive to dues-paid CICs. Designated CICs are the most qualified and respected independent agents in the United States, and these carriers recognize this fact.
CIC Select - CIC E&O - CIC Property - CIC Elite Personal Lines
CIC Workers’ Compensation - CIC Energy
CIC Select
CIC Select was created to connect AIG member companies with designated Certified Insurance Counselors (CICs). CIC Select offers many products including Energy, Environmental, EPLI, Miscellaneous Professional Liability, Workers' Compensation, Umbrellas, and many more products, including the new Private Client Group, an elite personal lines product designed for high net worth individuals. Check out a new feature on CIC Select under the Management Liability category. Through AIG's eWriter program, CICs can submit EPLI & D&O accounts online.
