Find company from insurance policy number?

Answer 1

Often times, initials identifying policy type will be embedded in the policy number. For example, WC2000-340-59033-05 indicates a Workers Compensation policy activated in 2005. These clues will at least give you a direction in terms of who to go to next for help. L = Life, PAP = Personal auto, PUM = Personal Umbrella. Then contact an agent of that profession, especially one that the policyholder (if not you) may have done business with and see if they recognize the policy number. The initials are not always indicative of policy type, it could indicate part of the insurer's name. Also, if you are not the policyholder, be aware of any privacy laws that might apply. Only use these hints if it is an emergency or if you have a right to the policyholder's information.
