How can I make a payment?

Remit your premium with your billing statement or log on to our eService website www.selmanco.com/eservice.

 

 


Can I pay my premium by phone?

We currently do not accept premium payments by telephone. But, if you call us, we can help you set up Electronic Funds Transfer.

 

 

Why can’t I pay with credit card the last two days of the month?  

You can still make a payment; however, you need to select the first day of the following month.  Payments do not process on the last two days of the month. A note will be placed on your record showing you created the transaction timely. 

 


Where can I mail my payment?  

You may make a one-time payment on the Policyholder Portal.  If you prefer to mail your payment, the address to mail your payment is the following:


SelmanCo
PO Box 92920
Cleveland, OH  44194

 



What happens if I think I made my payment twice?  

If multiple payments for the same policy are made on the same date, the system will only process the first payment.  All other payments will be voided.  This sometimes occurs when the Submit button is clicked multiple times.

 



If I make a one-time payment and have reoccurring payments already scheduled, will my account get deducted twice?  

Yes, the system views these as two separate transactions.  

 

 

How do I add EFT information?

Please contact customer service for an electronic funds transfer form. The forms vary, depending on the type of insurance you have.

What is the turnaround time to process claims?  

Most of our claims are processed within five business days from the date received. Some claims may take longer due to missing information, pre-existing clause may be active, changes may be needed (for example, adding a newborn to the policy). 

 


Why did I receive more money than what I submitted?  

If claims are not processed within state timely pay guidelines, we are required to pay interest.
