Milliman Appleseed

Accelerating risk innovation

The challenge

Insurtech innovation must meet regulatory standards

  • Big data and advanced analytics can transform insurance risk measurement and pricing
  • State-by-state regulatory approval of new risk scores and methodologies can be costly and slow, increasing time to market for innovation
  • This dynamic restricts insurtechs from acquiring new customers, favors incumbents, and slows adoption of innovative products
THE SOLUTION

Accelerate pricing innovation

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

We can manage the entire process end to end, including filing products with state insurance departments directly. Insurers can immediately adopt approved rating plans and scores, and a B2B insurtech can obtain regulatory approvals even before they get their first insurer on board.
