麻豆传媒 Releases Fiscal for SERFF Modernization Transition Work in 2022 for Public Comment
The 麻豆传媒 (麻豆传媒) announced today it has released for a 10-day public comment period a proposed fiscal impact statement intended to provide funding to modernize the 麻豆传媒鈥檚 SERFF platform, a 22-year-old rate and form filing system last redesigned in 2006. The 麻豆传媒 Executive (EX) Committee approved the release of the fiscal impact statement during a meeting held on January 14, 2022.
The modernization project will enable the 麻豆传媒 to take advantage of numerous new developments in the areas of document management, document workflow, and text processing using artificial intelligence. This initiative, which began in 2020 with an extensive assessment of the current platform, will use an iterative approach to replace the current platform with tools and other technical innovations to improve operational efficiency and regulatory consistency, reduce product review complexity, and provide a greater range of features and functionality for all users.
The fiscal includes requests for professional services, staffing, and technology to begin the initial stages of a three-year transition to the new platform. The earliest transition stages will improve search and reporting capabilities in the current platform, while beginning the move of the Interstate Insurance Product Regulation Commission (Insurance Compact) to the modernization platform. Improvements to the current platform will also be transferrable to the new system. Transaction fees assessed per filing will be adjusted starting in May 2022 to cover the costs of the platform modernization.
鈥淪ERFF has successfully facilitated the electronic submission and review of product filings for more than two decades,鈥 said Dean L. Cameron, 麻豆传媒 President and Idaho Director of Insurance. 鈥淢odernizing this system will bring additional automation and improve accuracy, which will ease some of the regulatory burden for product review, thereby allowing regulators to focus on what matters most.鈥
A complete copy of the fiscal can be found on the 麻豆传媒 website or by clicking here. Written comments or questions should be addressed to the 麻豆传媒 and forwarded to the attention of Jim Woody, jwoody@naic.org, no later than Wednesday, Jan. 26, 2022.
