Cloud API for BillingCenter (version 1.14.0)

The Direct Bill Payment Plan Preview and Billing Instructions APIs set the foundation for modernizing the billing lifecycle by enabling real-time payment plan comparisons, seamless policy change billing, and flexible account-level transactions. They support digital self-service, agent empowerment, and operational efficiency.

Search using Cloud API

You can now search for policies, accounts, and producers using Cloud API. The search capability offers partial string matching, case insensitivity, and a variety of searchable fields.

New billing instructions

New billing instruction types were added to support an increased number of policy transactions:

  • Renewals - Create a new term for an existing policy, or create a new term for an existing policy in a policy administration system.
  • Audits - You can schedule, create, or waive policy audits to ensure that the correct premium is billed for a policy period.
  • Policy period general instructions - A catch-all billing instruction for policy periods.
  • Account general billing instructions - A catch-all billing instruction for accounts.

Preview issuance and payment plan change

You can now preview policy issuances and payment plan changes without committing any data to the database. The preview feature allows you to see the invoice items that would be created in the case of issuance or payment plan change.

View archive summaries

You can now view information on premium and commission paid on archived policy periods.

PATCH payment instruments

You can now PATCH producer and account payment instruments.

Work with return premium handling schemes

BillingCenter Cloud API now supports working with return premium handling schemes. Return premium handling schemes are used by return premium plans to define how negative charges are allocated.
