The Connecticut Insurance Department recently launched a website that will save policyholders and insurance shoppers a trip to the department’s office in Hartford. Online access is now available to insurance companies’ rate and form filings with the state.
“With the technology we live with now and use each and every day, it makes sense to provide another online public tool for information-gathering,” said Thomas B. Leonardi, state insurance commissioner, in a statement. “The department has been committed to transparency and has many public regulatory documents easily accessible through our website.”
The online tool uses the System for Electronic Rate and Form Filing, or SERFF, the primary interface developed by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners that insurance companies use for regulatory filings. Health insurance carriers and property casualty companies are making their Connecticut filings available through this platform.
More than 30 states require insurance companies to use the SERFF system for product, form and rate filings. Connecticut is one of 15 states to provide online access to the filings.
The new online tool is available on the department’s website under form filings. The department’s website also provides public access to enforcement actions, financial examinations of companies and complaint data. Consumer complaints and financial reports are available through the Connecticut open data portal.
