Transfer/Release Policy
External Agents must follow the National Care Dental (NCD) Release Policy when ending or changing an affiliation with an upline agency. This policy applies to agents and agencies, hereafter referred to as “agents”, contracted to sell NCD products.
Immediate Release Policy – To receive an immediate release, external agents must secure a release letter from their current direct upline. It is at their discretion whether to release an agent prior to 90 days (see Delayed Release Policy below). The current upline is required to formally communicate the release of the agent in writing using company letterhead, signed by the principal, with a current or future effective date of the release. Release letters must be sent to NCD’s Agent Support at AgentSupport@NCD.com. If the immediate release is accepted, it will be processed within 5 business days. NCD will notify the agent via email when the release has been processed. LOA agents who were employed by their upline are immediately eligible for a release should their employment end, but LOA agent business remains the property of the original upline and is governed by any contracts in place between the LOA agent and their upline. Agents with no business written in the past 6 months, qualify for an immediate release.
Delayed Release Policy – In instances where an immediate release is not granted, the agent may request a delayed release.* The delayed release will be effective 90 days after the agent’s request is received. Such requests must be requested of NCD with proof of notification of intended release to the current direct upline 3-6 months before the delayed release request. Note: Agents above an SGA/SGA2 commission level are not eligible for a Delayed Release
Impact on Agent’s Book of Business
New: Any business submitted to NCD while the agent was aligned with the previous upline will result in the appropriate overrides and commission being paid as indicated by the contracts and schedules in place at the time of the sale.
Renewal: Any renewals earned while the agent was aligned with the previous upline will result in the appropriate overrides and renewals being paid as indicated by the contracts and schedules in place at the time of the sale.
The release ONLY affects business that occurs after the date of the release.
NCD reserves the right to grant releases and/or adjust hierarchies without the approval of the agent hierarchy. Hierarchy changes will affect the requesting agent and their downline agents.
Thank you for your continued support and participation of NCD. If you have questions, contact our Agent Support Team at 844-284-4944 or AgentSupport@NCD.com.

Immediate Release with FMO Approval – External agents must obtain a release letter from their existing FMO to acquire an immediate release. It is up to the FMO to decide whether to release an agent before the 90-day delayed period. The current FMO must formally communicate the release of the agent either in writing on company letterhead, signed by the principal, and with a current or future effective date, or using the Ultimate Health Plans Agent Release Form. Release letters must be sent to UHP’s Agent Support at AgentAdmin@ulthp.com, cc contracting@appliedga.com. If the immediate release is accepted, it will be processed within 5-7business days, and the agent will be notified by email when completed.
Immediate Release with UHP Approval – External agents who have not submitted new business to UHP under their existing FMO for at least 90 days may be eligible for release without the approval of their FMO. Requests must be submitted in writing to UHP’s Agent Support at AgentAdmin@ulthp.com cc contracting@appliedga.com. The final decision for immediate release without the FMO’s approval is at UHP’s discretion.
Delayed-Release Policy – If an immediate release is not granted, the agent may request a delayed-release in writing. The agent’s request for a delayed-release will take effect 90 days after UHP confirms receipt of the request. Requests must be sent to Agent Support at AgentAdmin@ulthp.com cc contracting@appliedga.com.
Blackout Period – Immediate Release requests submitted between September 1st and December 31st will not go into effect until January 1st. Delayed-release requests submitted between September 1st and September 31st will not go into effect until January 1st. Agents can only terminate or change their FMO once per calendar year.
Agent’s Status upon Release – Once an agent has been released, they are free to join another contracted FMO. The agent must notify UHP in writing of the FMO they wish to join. The new FMO’s name can be mentioned in the original request for release. The agent must maintain all license, training, certification, and appointment requirements with UHP.
Impact on Agent’s Book of Business – Any new business submitted, and renewals earned while the agent was contracted with the previous FMO will result in the appropriate overrides and, if applicable, commissions and renewals being paid to that FMO.
We value your participation and support with Ultimate Health Plans. If you have any questions, contact our Agent Support at 877-322-4029 or AgentAdmin@ulthp.com.
