RICHMOND — The State Corporation Commission’s (SCC) Bureau of Insurance (Bureau) has launched new search options on its website that will make it easier to locate information about the premium rates and policy forms that insurance companies are using in Virginia. Virginia Commissioner of Insurance, Jacqueline K. Cunningham, said that these new search options are part of the Bureau’s ongoing efforts to enhance education and outreach initiatives relating to all forms of insurance marketed in Virginia.

Two search options for viewing information about insurance premium rate and policy form submissions are available through the Bureau’s website. One search option provides general information about rate and form filings for all lines of insurance in a concise summarized format, with access to specific file documentation available upon further request. The other search option provides direct access to the premium rates and policy forms associated with most comprehensive major medical accident and sickness and managed care products submitted to the Bureau.

The search options and accompanying user guide can be accessed at:http://www.scc.virginia.gov/boi/SERFFInquiry.

Additional information can be obtained by contacting the Bureau of Insurance at (804) 371-9110 for life and health insurance or (804) 371-9965 for property and casualty insurance, or by emailing the Bureau at BOIRFF@scc.virginia.gov.
