On a Direct Bill policy, the client pays the insurance company directly, and the commission is sent from the company, to the agency. If desired, the client may choose to process a payment through the agency, which is then forwarded in full to the insurance company. (See: Client Payment: Direct Bill Cash Transmittal)
In addition, agency can also pay the policy premium on behalf of the client to the company, creating a receivable balance for the client, prior to receiving a client payment.
