Insurance price vs. Non-insurance price

Post by WillSDQ »

How does insurance status effect your prices? In other words, do you charge the same rate to a non-insured customer as you would to a insured customer (insurance company)? I ask this question because I know in the area I live Windshield Replacement Companies give a price break to a customer who must come out of pocket for the replacement. What about WSR?

If you elect to participate with the networks, you will be agreeing to there "Offer and Acceptance" terms. So you will be bound to the rates appicable per insurance co. that were set by the network and insurance co. All work you provide outside the scope of there agreements is at your discretion to the set retail fee. I have had luck negotiating my rates with Harmon Solutions and Netcost networks. Sometimes after speaking with a customer they end up deciding it is not worth having such a small ammount on there policy history and just pay cash. This should "CLUE" you in. http://www.privacyrights.org/fs/fs26-CLUE.htm

As for giving incentives, goes on all the time. Cash up front to me is certainly worth a small discount of some sort. Customer appreciates the discount and I appreciate immediate payment. Win-Win and you get to decide who, when and how much.
