How is MCAS Used by Regulators?

• Does a state participate?• Is the regulator concern a covered MCAS line of

business currently under review?• Was this concern/issue identified as outlier?• What data element(s)/subline(s) result in

company being an “outlier”? (PPA, HO, ILCVP, ILNCVP, IFA, IVA)

• Statewide average comparisons

Page 16: Market Conduct Annual Statement

16

How is MCAS Used by Insurers?

• Gather data• Evaluate data• Report Cards

Page 17: Market Conduct Annual Statement

17

Why MCAS?

• Permits centralized data storage• States have authority to share information with

the NAIC• States have authority to require insurers submit

information to the NAIC • Offers opportunities for trending and analytics
