Transitioning Your NEXT Workers' Compensation Policy in Housecall Pro Payroll

Keep your existing policy through NEXT through a Broker of Record switch

ℹ️ If you currently have NEXT workers' compensation insurance through Housecall Pro payroll, you can now switch your Broker of Record to Coverdash.


What is a Broker of Record?

A Broker of Record (BOR) is the authorized representative designated to manage your workers' compensation insurance policy on your behalf. By switching to Coverdash as your broker, you're changing who handles your policy administration, support, and claims—but your underlying policy remains unchanged.


What Stays the Same

  • Your existing policy and rate

  • Automatic payroll deductions (no changes to your payroll setup)

  • Same coverage and policy terms

  • Continuous coverage—no gaps or interruptions


What You Gain with Coverdash as Your Broker

  • Get 24/7 support and a dedicated account manager through Coverdash

  • NEW: Access and download your COI directly in your HCP account


How to Transition Your NEXT Workers’ Comp Policy

Follow these steps to transition your Broker of Record to Coverdash:

Step 1: Go to Your Insurance Settings

  • Navigate to My Money > Insurance

  • Click the Coverdash Pay-as-you-go workers' compensation tile

Step 2: Enter Your Employee Classification Information

Provide workers' compensation classifications for your payroll employees. This ensures accurate premium rates based on your current workforce:

  • Select the appropriate classification codes for each employee role

  • Review estimated payroll amounts

  • Click Continue to proceed

Step 3: Confirm You Have an Existing Policy

On the next screen, select "I already have workers' compensation." This tells the system you're transitioning your existing NEXT policy to Coverdash:

Step 4: Provide Your Current Policy Information

Enter details about your current policy:

  • Your policy number

  • Insurance carrier

  • OR upload any policy or COI documents to auto-extract the information

Step 5: Submit and Wait for Confirmation

Coverdash will begin processing the Broker of Record transition.


After the Broker Transition is Complete

Once Coverdash completes the transition, they will let you know over email (this should happen within a few days, and there is nothing you need to do).

You'll be able to:

  • View and download your Certificate of Insurance directly from My Money > Insurance

  • Access your NEXT policy details in HCP

  • Reach your dedicated Coverdash account manager for any questions

  • Get 24/7 support from certified insurance experts

  • Manage everything from one place
