Milliman Appleseed to file CARFAX Vehicle Risk Scores with state insurance regulators

SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Milliman, Inc., the premier global consulting and actuarial firm, is providing auto insurers with access to CARFAX Vehicle Risk Scores as part of its Appleseed product. Milliman Appleseed® will pre-file these risk scores with state insurance regulators thereby reducing regulatory risk and enabling insurers to adopt them more easily.

“We are leveraging Appleseed’s state approval and distribution networks to get CARFAX Vehicle Risk Scores to market more quickly,” said Dan Hill, National Insurance Director for CARFAX. “For example, the CARFAX ADAS Scores are now available via Appleseed.”

Milliman Appleseed is an advisory organization licensed to submit loss costs, rating factors, and risk scores with insurance regulators across the United States. Insurtechs with new and innovative risk scoring approaches can meet regulatory requirements faster, more easily, and at lower costs by filing through Milliman Appleseed.

“The state regulatory system is very complex, and insurers cannot be certain how long it will take for new models to be reviewed,” said Peggy Brinkmann, principal and consulting actuary with Milliman. “Using a score filed through Appleseed is a more efficient process for everyone involved – insurtechs, insurers, and state regulators – and we’re thrilled to include CARFAX Vehicle Risk Scores among our offerings.”
