The Insurance Industry, State and Federal Agencies Working Together
Insurance is an industry that is overseen and regulated primarily at the state level. Each of the fifty states and the District of Columbia have insurance departments or agencies that oversee that state’s insurance business. The states are members of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (the “NAIC”). The NAIC has various committees and working groups that address issues of importance to the industry. In addition, there are federal acts and laws that apply to the insurance industry, including the Office of Foreign Asset Control (“OFAC”) and the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (“GLB”) governing privacy. The federal and state regulatory agencies interact with the industry on a regular basis and review and approve a variety of industry matters. Listen to this podcast to learn more about those interrelationships and how the industry and regulators interact at NAIC meetings and in general.
It Takes a Team to Build an Insurance Product
Insurance products must comply with specific regulatory requirements designed to protect both the solvency of the insurer and the interests of the policyowners. To ensure that these concerns are met, a product concept goes through various stages, typically handled and overseen by a product development team. Members of such a team include members of different technical areas of expertise from throughout the company, including actuarial, marketing, underwriting, claims, investments, information technology, policyowner service, accounting, legal and compliance.
While specifics may vary by organization, the product development process generally consists of idea, generation, proof of concept, business analysis, research of both the market and laws, product design, product implementation and introduction to the market. Most insurance products must be filed with individual state insurance departments prior to introduction to the market to ensure the product is viable and meets all state requirements for the type of insurance provided.
