Streamline Regulatory Response: AI-Powered Compilation of Document Requests From State DOIs

Compliance teams in Property & Homeowners, Auto, and Commercial Auto lines of business face relentless pressure to respond to state Department of Insurance (DOI) data calls quickly and accurately. When hurricanes strike, when unfair claims practices are investigated, or when targeted market conduct exams land, a Compliance Analyst must compile precise, audit-ready answers across thousands of policy records and claim files—often in days, not weeks. The challenge is not just volume; it’s the mix of structured and unstructured documents scattered across systems, emails, third-party portals, and scanned PDFs.

Nomad Data’s Doc Chat eliminates the scramble. Doc Chat for Insurance is a suite of AI-powered agents that ingests full claim files, policies, endorsements, correspondence, and reports, then instantly extracts, standardizes, and compiles regulator-ready responses with page-level citations. Whether your DOI request arrives as a spreadsheet template or a narrative letter, Doc Chat maps the ask, pulls data across every document type, and delivers a defensible package—accelerating regulatory response without adding headcount.

The Compliance Analyst’s Reality in Property & Homeowners, Auto, and Commercial Auto

State DOIs expect timely, complete, and defensible answers. In Property & Homeowners, that often means catastrophe-driven data calls (wildfire, hurricane, freeze) with detailed breakdowns by ZIP code, peril, coverage type, reserve movements, and claim handling timelines. In Personal Auto and Commercial Auto, it can mean targeted data calls for third-party bodily injury, total loss settlements, SIU referrals, or timeliness of first contact after FNOL. Across all lines, DOIs want to see accurate figures for opened/closed/reopened claims, days-to-first-contact, days-to-liability-decision, payment lags, denial reasons, litigation rates, salvage and subrogation recovery, and more—with full traceability.

For a Compliance Analyst, the nuance is that much of what a DOI asks for is not a single field in the claims system. It’s derived data: for example, the number of days between FNOL and first indemnity payment, or the sum of supplementary payments made before an adverse liability decision. It’s also scattered across artifacts not designed for easy extraction—adjuster notes, demand letters, EUO transcripts, repair estimates, police crash reports, SIU memos, denial letters, and endorsements. The more complex the claim, the more pages and the more sources you need to reconcile. That complexity multiplies across Property & Homeowners catastrophe cohorts, high-severity Auto injury, and Commercial Auto multi-vehicle losses.

What DOI Data Calls Really Ask For (and Why It’s Hard)

Typical DOI data calls combine structured templates with free-form narrative requests. In practice, they require cross-document inference that exceeds basic OCR or keyword search. Common asks include:

  • Claim handling timeliness metrics: days to first contact, coverage decision, liability determination, and payment after FNOL.
  • Itemized payment history by coverage (e.g., Coverage A/B/C/D for Property; BI/PD/MedPay/UM/UIM/Collision/Comprehensive for Auto), including LAE and reserve changes.
  • Causes of loss, peril codes, catastrophe codes, damage descriptions, and mitigation steps (Property & Homeowners).
  • Valuation detail for total loss auto claims: ACV method, comparable vehicles, prior damage, taxes/fees, title transfer, and salvage disposition (Auto and Commercial Auto).
  • SIU referrals, fraud indicators, and investigative steps taken; outcomes and impacts on settlement.
  • Litigation and attorney representation dates, demand letter summaries, and settlement rationale.
  • Complaint categories and resolutions; reopened claim counts and reasons.
  • Policy-level detail: declarations, endorsements, exclusions, limits, deductibles, and trigger language.

Yet these details are rarely in one place. They live in:

  • Claims files (adjuster notes, recorded statements, EUO transcripts, coverage letters, litigation correspondence).
  • Policy records (dec pages, endorsements, exclusions, amendments, coverage triggers).
  • Loss run reports and bordereaux with incomplete fields requiring backfill from source documents.
  • External attachments: FNOL forms, ISO claim reports, police crash reports, repair estimates and supplements, medical bills and EOBs, demand packages, appraisals, total loss worksheets, salvage certificates, rental invoices, and subrogation letters.

DOIs increasingly want page-cited answers that stand up in audits. Without a way to read everything and prove the source, manual approaches struggle to meet expectations—especially at catastrophe scale.

How DOI Response Is Handled Manually Today

Most carriers rely on a patchwork process:

  1. Intake and scoping: Compliance interprets the DOI letter or spreadsheet, aligns it with state statutes, and drafts a data dictionary. They coordinate with Claims, SIU, Legal, and IT to clarify definitions (e.g., “first contact” vs. “acknowledgment”).
  2. Core-system extracts: The team submits ad hoc requests to the claims system (Guidewire, Duck Creek, Origami, in-house), policy admin system, and data warehouse to pull fields by LOB and time period. Iterations are common because many required metrics are not stored as simple fields.
  3. Backfilling from documents: Analysts open PDFs to fill gaps—reading adjuster notes for contact dates, scouring appraisal PDFs for valuation sources, and extracting policy endorsement language that explains coverage decisions.
  4. Spreadsheet stitching: Multiple VLOOKUPs and Python/SQL scripts combine exports with manual findings. Version control becomes a risk as spreadsheets circulate via email and SharePoint.
  5. Validation and sampling: Claims managers, SIU, and Legal sample rows against the claim file to ensure accuracy. This often triggers rework as inconsistencies surface.
  6. Production of narrative and exhibits: Compliance crafts the narrative response, assembles exhibits, and prepares a binder for DOI, often without defensible citations for every row.

This is slow, costly, and error-prone. When a large Property & Homeowners catastrophe data call overlaps with a targeted Auto/Commercial Auto exam, backlogs grow, overtime spikes, and the organization takes on avoidable regulatory risk.

Automate DOI Data Call Insurance: How Doc Chat Works End-to-End

Nomad Data’s Doc Chat replaces manual toil with AI-driven, audit-ready automation purpose-built for insurance. The platform ingests your entire corpus—claims files, policy records, loss run reports, and attachments—then answers the DOI’s ask with page-level evidence. Learn more about Doc Chat for Insurance.

From request to regulator-ready deliverable

  1. Ingest the DOI request: Upload the data call letter and template (CSV/XLSX/PDF). Doc Chat parses definitions, clarifies requested metrics, and creates a response blueprint.
  2. Map to your reality: We align the blueprint to your fields and document types—claims admin fields, policy admin, DMS repositories (e.g., OnBase, FileNet, SharePoint), and email/PDF archives.
  3. Read every page: Doc Chat ingests full claim files (thousands of pages at a time) across Property & Homeowners, Auto, and Commercial Auto. It pulls key facts from unstructured content—adjuster notes, demand letters, ISO reports, police reports, repair estimates, medical records, EUO transcripts—and reconciles them with system fields.
  4. Compute derived metrics: The agent calculates DOI-specific metrics (e.g., days from FNOL to first contact, reserve movements by coverage, SIU referral-to-outcome lag) using your definitions and state-specific rules.
  5. Citations and audit trail: Every output is linked to exact source pages. Sampling and QA become point-and-click verification instead of time-consuming file dives.
  6. Deliver in your format: Export a completed DOI template, plus supporting exhibits and a narrative with embedded citations. Outputs can be delivered via SFTP, API, or download.

Under the hood, Doc Chat combines information extraction with cross-document inference—the capability to synthesize answers that aren’t explicitly stated in any one place. For a deep dive on why this matters for insurance, see Nomad Data’s perspective in Beyond Extraction: Why Document Scraping Isn’t Just Web Scraping for PDFs.

Documents and Forms Doc Chat Handles for DOI Responses

To satisfy state DOIs, you need complete visibility across both structured and unstructured material. Doc Chat is built for the messy middle:

  • Claims Files: FNOL forms, adjuster notes, recorded statements, EUO transcripts, coverage letters, reservation of rights and denial letters, litigation correspondence, subrogation and salvage documentation, SIU memos.
  • Policy Records: Applications, dec pages, endorsements, exclusions, binders, renewal notices, cancellation/non‑renewal notices, trigger language.
  • Property & Homeowners Attachments: Contractor estimates and supplements, mitigation invoices, photos, cause-of-loss reports, catastrophe coding, engineer reports, contents inventories.
  • Auto/Commercial Auto Attachments: Police crash reports, appraisals, total loss valuation worksheets, comparable vehicle listings, medical bills and EOBs, demand packages, rental invoices, tow and storage bills, title/salvage certificates.
  • Third-Party Data: ISO claim reports, MVRs, loss run reports and bordereaux from MGAs/TPAs, and vendor files.

In practice, compliance teams report that Doc Chat’s ability to surface every reference to coverage, liability, or damages—plus compute timelines—eliminates blind spots that otherwise inflate effort and risk.

AI Pull Data for Insurance Regulatory Request: Why This Is Different from “Search”

A DOI might ask: “Provide time to first contact for all Property claims opened in Q3, and cite the page and date of the communication that constitutes contact.” That’s not a keyword lookup. It’s interpretation across notes, letters, and emails, using your company’s definition of contact. Doc Chat operationalizes your playbook—your rules for what counts as “contact,” “acknowledgment,” or “liability decision”—and applies them consistently across every claim.

Nomad Data calls this end-to-end document intelligence. It’s not simply extracting a field that already exists; it’s creating it from the intersection of document content and institutional expertise. This aligns with our view that modern document automation demands inference, not just extraction—expanded on in Beyond Extraction.

Line-of-Business Examples: From Catastrophes to Total Loss

Property & Homeowners: Catastrophe Response

A severe hail event triggers a statewide data call requesting opened/closed claims by ZIP code, peril, and coverage; average days to first contact; average days to coverage determination; number and amount of reopened claims; mitigation actions taken; and reserve changes. The ask includes a requirement to cite the specific pages showing first contact and coverage communication.

With Doc Chat: The Compliance Analyst uploads the DOI letter and template, plus the relevant claim cohorts. Doc Chat calculates time-based metrics using your definitions, extracts coverage communications from correspondence, and links each metric to the exact page in the claim file. It also aggregates reserve changes and payments by coverage. Results export directly into the DOI template with embedded citations.

Personal Auto: Timeliness and Injury Handling

The DOI requests BI claim handling timelines, days to liability decision, demand letter dates and content summaries, medical bill totals by CPT/HCPCS where available, and outcomes (settled, tried, denied) for a 24‑month period. It asks to identify SIU referrals and their outcomes, with documentation.

With Doc Chat: The model extracts first contact, liability decision, and settlement dates from notes and letters; summarizes demand letters; compiles payment history by coverage; and locates SIU memos. It flags missing documentation and prompts for follow-up, reducing back-and-forth later in the process.

Commercial Auto: Total Loss and Salvage

A targeted exam focuses on total loss valuation methods, comparable vehicle sources, prior damage consideration, and salvage disposition timing. The regulator wants proof of ACV methodology and how taxes/fees were applied.

With Doc Chat: The agent reads appraisal PDFs, total loss valuation worksheets, and correspondence with the owner, extracting valuation method, comps, adjustments, tax/fee calculations, title transfer dates, and salvage sale documentation—each with citations. It computes days from total loss determination to settlement and flags deviations from your internal standards.

From Days to Minutes: What Changes for Compliance

With Doc Chat, the Compliance Analyst stops chasing data and starts managing risk and narrative. Instead of manually searching hundreds of PDFs, you review pre-populated templates, spot anomalies, and refine the story behind performance. Adjusters, SIU, and Legal validate facts with one click to the source page—no more “where did that number come from?” meetings.

Carriers using Nomad report moving from multi-week compilation cycles to same-day responses for many DOI asks—because the underlying work of reading, reconciling, and calculating is automated. For a firsthand account of speed and verification, see the GAIG story in our webinar recap.

Quickly Respond to Insurance DOI Document Requests: A Measurable Advantage

When you can answer DOI data calls quickly, you gain strategic benefits beyond the request itself:

  • Proactive posture: Faster responses signal control and competence to regulators.
  • Internal assurance: Better visibility into timelines and decisions helps Claims and SIU improve practices before the next exam.
  • Reduced leakage: Systematic review surfaces missed subrogation, salvage, or payment anomalies while compiling regulator data.
  • MCAS alignment: The same Doc Chat agents can standardize metrics you need for MCAS submission quality and timeliness tracking.

These outcomes compound over time. By institutionalizing your definitions in Doc Chat, every new data call benefits from a reusable, tested framework—accelerating future submissions and reducing variance across teams and vendors (including TPAs and MGAs).

Real-Time Q&A and Audit Defensibility

Compliance doesn’t stop at a spreadsheet. Regulators often ask follow-up questions—“Show your calculation” or “Where did you determine first contact?”—and request additional samples. Doc Chat supports real-time Q&A across massive files, with instant links to source pages that satisfy oversight, internal QA, and regulator review. This capability is one reason claims teams trust Doc Chat for large, complex files, as discussed in the GAIG webinar recap linked above.

Security, Privacy, and Governance for Regulatory Work

Regulatory responses demand the highest standards of data protection. Doc Chat is built for insurance-grade confidentiality:

  • SOC 2 Type II controls, network isolation, encryption in transit and at rest.
  • Least-privilege access, SSO/SAML, and detailed audit logs for chain‑of‑custody.
  • Private model inference with no training on your data by default.
  • Deployment flexibility and integration with your DMS and claims systems through secure APIs and SFTP.

Because the platform delivers page-level citations, every number can be traced to a document source. That transparency builds trust with regulators and accelerates internal sign-off.

Frequently Asked Questions from Compliance Analysts

Can Doc Chat automate DOI data calls for insurance when requirements vary by state?

Yes. We encode your jurisdictional rules and definitions—what counts as “first contact” or “coverage decision,” how catastrophe codes map to peril categories, and the precise timeline metrics a given DOI requires. Agents apply the right rules at the claim level based on state, line of business, and incident date.

How does Doc Chat handle unstructured artifacts like demand letters or police reports?

Doc Chat reads the entire file, not just headers, and extracts structured facts from narrative documents. It can summarize demand letters, identify the demand amount and alleged injuries, pull injury diagnosis codes if present, and link each fact to a page citation. The same applies to police reports, appraisal PDFs, EUO transcripts, and more.

What about Market Conduct Annual Statement (MCAS) metrics?

Because Doc Chat computes timeliness and handling metrics with your definitions and cites the underlying evidence, the same agents can standardize and validate MCAS inputs—improving consistency and reducing rework during market conduct exams.

We work with TPAs/MGAs. Can Doc Chat aggregate across those partners?

Yes. Upload partner-provided loss run reports and document archives. Doc Chat reconciles formats, flags missing fields, and backfills from the partner’s attachments when needed, producing a unified, DOI-ready dataset with citations.

How quickly can we go from an incoming DOI letter to a validated submission?

Many carriers achieve same‑day drafts for targeted requests and sub‑week delivery for broader asks. Our standard implementation runs 1–2 weeks; after that, each new data call reuses your calibrated agents and speeds further.

Step-by-Step: From DOI Letter to Submission with Doc Chat

The following workflow shows how Compliance Analysts across Property & Homeowners, Auto, and Commercial Auto can quickly respond to insurance DOI document requests:

  1. Upload & parse: Load the DOI letter and spreadsheet template into Doc Chat; the agent identifies metrics, definitions, and cohorts.
  2. Select populations: Filter by LOB, state, catastrophe code, or date range. Connect to claims/policy systems and DMS via API/SFTP or drag-and-drop files.
  3. Automated extraction: The agent reads claim files end-to-end, computes timelines, classifies payments by coverage, and extracts narrative facts (e.g., valuation method, demand amount).
  4. Backfill and flag: Missing fields trigger automated prompts and gap reports, preventing late surprises.
  5. Assemble response: Doc Chat fills the DOI template, generates a narrative with citations, and compiles exhibits.
  6. Validate & submit: Compliance, Claims, SIU, and Legal sample entries by clicking citations; export to your regulator’s requested format.

Proof in Practice: From Weeks to Minutes

Nomad clients routinely report step-function improvements when the review burden shifts to AI. In complex-claim contexts, we’ve demonstrated that summarizing and extracting from files measured in the tens of thousands of pages takes minutes instead of weeks—without sacrificing accuracy. The reason is simple: machines do not fatigue. They read page 1 and page 10,000 with the same attention and speed. For more context, see The End of Medical File Review Bottlenecks, where we detail the shift from months-long reviews to sub-hour results.

Governance and Consistency Across Teams

Regulatory responses expose process gaps when rules live in people’s heads. Doc Chat institutionalizes expertise by encoding your best adjusters’ and compliance leaders’ unwritten rules into repeatable, auditable procedures. This reduces variance from desk to desk and accelerates onboarding. The result is a consistent, defensible compliance posture that stands up across Property & Homeowners, Auto, and Commercial Auto.

Where This Fits in Your Roadmap

Automating DOI data calls doesn’t require a core-system overhaul. Start by using Doc Chat in a drag‑and‑drop mode for your next request; then, integrate with your systems as you see early wins. Insurers typically expand usage from compliance to claims QA, litigation support, and underwriting audits, because the same agents that read a claim file for DOI can summarize a demand package or verify a total loss valuation. Explore broader applications in AI for Insurance: Real-World Use Cases.

Key Takeaways for the Compliance Analyst

When you need to automate DOI data call insurance workflows:

  • Expect derived, cross-document metrics—not just field pulls—to satisfy regulators.
  • Insist on page-level citations to accelerate internal validation and satisfy audits.
  • Standardize state-by-state definitions so the same file yields the right answer for different jurisdictions.
  • Use AI to preemptively flag gaps, reducing back-and-forth with regulators.
  • Treat AI like a skilled junior: it gathers and compiles, while humans review, decide, and narrate.

With Doc Chat, your team moves from manual stitching to authoritative, regulator-ready responses—faster, cheaper, and more defensible.
