IPC Registration
About Independently Procured Coverage
F.S. 626.938(1) defines independently procured coverage (IPC) as coverage that is procured without the assistance of a licensed and appointed Florida surplus lines agent. IPC filers are required to file policies through the Surplus Lines Information Portal (SLIP) when they have directly purchased or placed coverage without the use of a surplus lines agent or agency. In this case, taxes, fees, or assessments are the sole responsibility of the IPC account holder.
