Ohio Department of Insurance Company Services

Ohio would like to thank the companies for participating in the Market Conduct Annual Statement project and for providing the Ohio Department of Insurance with claims and underwriting data.

The links below will display the Ohio statewide average ratios for the 2007 Market Conduct Annual Statement. These statewide averages are for informational purposes only and do not represent standards for market behavior and this information does not establish compliance or non-compliance. The Department will use this data as a part of its ongoing analysis and monitoring of the State market. The Department intends to keep company-specific analysis and data confidential to the extent permitted by state law.

This information may not be used in any form of company advertising or marketing.

During our analysis, multiple processes were utilized to ensure the integrity of the data. Also, categories were developed to help us gauge your company’s claim payment and underwriting performance in comparison to others in the industry. The analysis categories were based on different ratios that were developed using the company’s Market Conduct Annual Statement data.

In order to compare your Company’s results to these statewide average ratios, you can obtain the ratios based on your Company’s MCAS data from the database that was used for the MCAS filing process. Along with statewide average ratios for each category, a chart indicating the number of reporting companies whose ratios fall within various ranges is also presented to show how your company’s results compare with the other reporting companies in the state of Ohio. Comparing your company’s results in this way should enable you to draw some comparison between your company’s performance and the aggregate market in Ohio.

For the 2008 MCAS, Property & Casualty companies’ data will be due by April 30, 2009 and Life & Annuity companies’ data will be due by June 30, 2009.
