The NAIC's Market Analysis Priorities Working Group (MAP) is the national forum for states to share and coordinate their market analysis programs. MAP reviews and coordinates state market analysis programs and sets priorities for uniform, nationwide analysis. For 2008, MAP is charged with:
- Reviewing and submitting recommended changes to the market analysis portions of the Market Regulation Handbook. This includes adding new language regarding how to perform baseline analysis and developing new language regarding how to develop an effective Department of Insurance Market Analysis Division,
- Reviewing the statutory annual statement and submitting recommended data elements that would enhance the market analysis process,
- Reviewing and submitting recommended changes to the Market Conduct Annual Statement's (MCAS) definitions, and
- Reviewing and approving recommendations regarding the market analysis tools once approved by the Market Analysis Research and Development Focus Group (MARD).
- Completing the revisions and enhancements to the NAIC complaint codes, the NAIC complaint manual and developing a timeline for state implementation of code changes by the NAIC Winter National Meeting.
