Rate & form filing review

Insurance regulation

·

In production

Review every rate filing

with the precedent attached.

When an insurer asks to change its rates or forms, BEACON screens the filing for completeness, checks it against your rules and pulls similar past filings. Analysts spend their time on the items that need a decision.

The question

Which filings need a decision before their deadline?

Who asks it

Rate and form analysts and their managers

The issue

Every filing is read

start to finish, by hand.

Hundreds of pages per filing

Analysts read actuarial memos, rate pages and forms end to end to find the few items that matter.

Precedent lives in people’s heads

Earlier objections and approvals for the same carrier are hard to find, so the same questions get asked again.

Deadlines run on the calendar

Deemer dates keep moving while filings wait in arrival order.

With BEACON: one recordThe filing, your checklist, past decisions and the letter live in one place.

What we built

From submission to decision,

with nothing missed.

1Intake

Every filing screened the day it arrives.

BEACON reads the filing, confirms the required items are there and builds a one-page summary, so nobody starts on page one.

  • Required documents checked against your checklist
  • Line, change requested and policyholders affected pulled into one record
  • Missing items listed for a clarification request
2Check

Your rules, applied to every page.

Each rule in your compliance checklist is checked against the filing, with the source cited and the passage quoted. Analysts see what passed, what failed and why.

  • Checklist built from your statutes, bulletins and past objections
  • Every finding linked to the page it came from
  • High-risk items flagged for a closer look
3Compare

Past filings, one click away.

Similar filings from the same carrier and line come up beside the one in review, with the objections and decisions that went with them.

  • Carrier history and changes since the last filing
  • Earlier objection letters searchable by topic
  • Changes from prior approved rates and forms highlighted
4Decide

The analyst decides. BEACON drafts the letter.

Analysts approve, ask for clarification or object. BEACON drafts the letter from the findings, and the decision goes back into the record.

  • Draft objection letters ready to review and edit
  • Decision rights set by your department
  • Deemer dates tracked on every filing
