Hey Joanne,
We are very Ɵght on providing the addiƟonal insured (AI) status to anyone for our members, as doing so depletes the
members coverage limits. If reasoning is provided and we will discuss (as the RM team at the CRG) and determine if we
find the reasoning acceptable. However, there are very rare circumstances that we find acceptable when naming and
outside party as AI. We instead advise each party be responsible for themselves.
I hope that helps!
Thanks,

Per the emails received, Orange County can’t be listed as addiƟonally insured. I was hoping we could get some
