Filing and document search

Search the filing record, not just filing metadata. Filings, forms, rate and rule manuals and supporting documents each have their own search, so a form can be found without opening the filing it came in.

Four searches, one for each part of a filing

A filing bundles a summary, forms, rate and rule pages and supporting documents. FilingFocus keeps each as its own searchable set, with filters that fit the document.

  • Filings

    Insurance filings and regulatory correspondence: filing metadata, summaries, objections, responses and dispositions.

  • Forms

    Policy forms, endorsements and applications, with active forms, prior editions and filing history.

  • Rate and rule manuals

    Rating factors, eligibility rules, underwriting language and manual pages.

  • Supporting documents

    Actuarial memoranda, indications, exhibits, explanatory materials and attachments.

Each part of a filing is its own search, with filters that fit that kind of document.Illustrative example. Carrier names, figures and findings are fictional.

Filings

Find filings by who filed, where, what for and what happened to them.

  • Company and group

    The company that submitted the filing, or every company under an insurance group.

  • Type and sub-type of insurance

    The primary insurance category and the sub-type under it.

  • Submission date and status

    When the filing was submitted to the state and where it stands, from submitted and pending to closed.

  • Filing version

    Whether a filing introduces a new product or program, modifies or withdraws an existing one, was rejected, or is administrative. New products typically carry a full set of forms and rating manuals.

  • Rate change

    The maximum rate change requested and the overall rate impact on the program.

  • Product name and tracking number

    The product name listed in the filing and the company’s own tracking number.

Forms

Results are grouped by the form itself. When the same form appears in several filings or states, one row shows the companies, states and filings it appears in.

  • Form type

    Applications, declarations and schedules, disclosures and notices, endorsements, cancellation notices, certificates and more.

  • Form action

    New, replaced, initial or withdrawn.

  • Active status

    Whether the form appears to be currently in use, with an Active Forms Only toggle.

  • Prior and subsequent forms

    Links to the edition a form replaced and to the edition that later replaced it, with the filing each came in.

  • Form number

    The form number and edition date, searchable in whole or in part.

Results are grouped by the form. One row shows how many companies, states and filings use it, and opens the filed PDF.Illustrative example. Carrier names, figures and findings are fictional.

Rate and rule manuals and supporting documents

  • Rate manuals

    Premium calculation, rating factors and territory definitions, including base rates and multipliers.

  • Rule manuals

    Underwriting rules, eligibility requirements, policy issuance rules and coverage limitations.

  • Underwriting guidelines

    How each risk is evaluated.

  • Actuarial memoranda and support

    The actuarial analysis and calculations filed behind a change.

  • Redlines, checklists and certificates

    Marked-up changes to forms or rates, state checklists and other required documents.

Search inside the documents

Use filters to define which filings or documents are eligible, then search the text itself.

  • Document text

    The words should appear inside the PDF body. Results include the matching document and page references.

  • Filing summary text

    The words should appear in a filing summary or one of its sections, such as an objection or response.

  • Document or form name

    You know part of the title but do not need the words to appear inside the document.

  • How filters combine

    Values selected inside one filter are alternatives. Different filters are cumulative.

Filters decide which documents are eligible. The text search then finds the wording inside them, down to the page.Illustrative example. Carrier names, figures and findings are fictional.
