New Agent Coordinator Phone Number Makes Contacting Us Easier
We have created a phone queue to make it easier for you to contact our Marketing Department Agent Coordinators, and to make sure you are assisted promptly.
- Call (541) 225-1963 (Eugene area) or toll-free (800) 624-6052, ext. 1963 between the hours of 7:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. (PT) to reach the next available Agent Coordinator.
- We’d also like to remind you to please use the email queue for our Agent Coordinators: agentcoordinator@pacificsource.com [Ed.: the email queue address changed to agentcoordinator@pacificsource.com from groupsales@pacificsource.com effective 8/2/11].
Using either of these two contact methods will help us to provide you with the swiftest possible response related to agent administration, including contracting, appointments, commissions, licensing, and E&O documentation.

Individual Application Process Q&A
Question: If my client wants to add health history or change their effective date, should I submit a revised application?
Answer: No. Please submit an Idaho Individual Application Update Form if your client needs to update their medical history or wishes to change their effective date.
Please note: if the initial application has a signature date more than 62 days old, we require a new Idaho Universal Application.
Question: My client has signed the acceptance letter, but changed the effective date. Can I go ahead and fax it to you along with a copy of the premium check?
Answer: No. An Idaho Individual Application Update Form is necessary to change the effective date listed on the acceptance letter. We require this form to be signed and returned before changing the effective date. Upon receipt of the completed form, we will issue a new offer letter for signature, which will need to be submitted with the first month’s premium.
Note: There’s no need to fax or e-mail copies of the check with an acceptance offer. We will use the postmark as the date received. However, the acceptance letter is not considered received until your client’s payment arrives with the signed offer.
We’re always happy to answer your questions. Please contact our Idaho Individual Sales Department staff in our Boise office at (208) 333-1559, toll-free (855) 333-1559, or by email at idahoindividual@pacificsource.com. You are also welcome to contact Individual Sales Representative Angie Jackson directly in our Boise office at (208) 908-5800, toll-free (888) 492-2875 ext. 5800, or by email at ajackson@pacificsource.com.
