Streamline Regulatory Response for Property & Homeowners, Auto, and Commercial Auto: AI-Powered Compilation of Document Requests From State DOIs

Regulatory data calls from state Departments of Insurance (DOIs) are high-stakes, deadline-driven, and unforgiving. For a Compliance Analyst, assembling a complete, accurate, and defensible response across Property & Homeowners, Auto, and Commercial Auto lines can consume weeks—especially when the request spans thousands of pages of claims files, policy records, and loss run reports. This is where Nomad Data’s Doc Chat changes the equation.

Doc Chat is a suite of purpose-built, AI-powered agents that ingest entire claim files, read every page without fatigue, and instantly surface the exact information regulators demand—complete with page-level citations and regulator-ready outputs. Instead of chasing down adjuster notes, policy endorsements, FNOL forms, ISO claim reports, and payment registers scattered across multiple systems, Compliance Analysts can ask natural-language questions and get instant, verifiable answers. In short: use AI to Automate DOI data call insurance responses and move from “all hands on deck” to “done in minutes.” Learn more about Doc Chat here: Doc Chat for Insurance.

The Realities of DOI Data Calls in Property & Homeowners, Auto, and Commercial Auto

Regulators routinely request structured and narrative information to test compliance with unfair claims practices statutes, timely communication rules, and market conduct standards. For Property & Homeowners, the focus often includes catastrophe (CAT) event handling, coverage determination accuracy, and repair/total-loss timeliness. For Auto and Commercial Auto, emphasis often includes PIP/MedPay processing, bodily injury settlement practices, total loss valuations, fraud/SIU referrals, and salvage and subrogation handling. Across all lines, DOIs ask for granular proof—dates of first contact, recorded statements, estimates and supplements, reserve changes, payment timeliness, denial reasons, and correspondence logs—supported by documentation.

The complication is scale and variability. A single state DOI data call may involve:

Hundreds or thousands of claims spanning multiple jurisdictions and time periods
Inconsistent document formats (scanned PDFs, emails, images) across carriers, TPAs, and vendors
Divergent policy forms, endorsements, and exclusions for Property & Homeowners, Auto, and Commercial Auto
Multiple document types: DOI data call letters, claims files, policy records, loss run reports, FNOL forms, ISO claim reports, police reports, repair estimates, medical bills, demand letters, reserve notes, payment ledgers, and coverage correspondence

Compliance Analysts must not only aggregate the requested data but also ensure that every fact is defensible and traceable back to the source page—because regulators increasingly require page-level explainability. As Great American Insurance Group highlighted, the difference between scrolling and getting an instant, cited answer is transformative for complex files—see their experience in Reimagining Insurance Claims Management: GAIG Accelerates Complex Claims with AI.

How DOI Responses Are Handled Manually Today

Most insurers still assemble DOI responses with a patchwork of spreadsheets, manual reading, and ad hoc reporting. A typical manual process for a Compliance Analyst looks like this:

Intake & scoping: Read the DOI data call request and map requested fields (e.g., claim number, date of loss, first contact date, coverage decision, denial reason, payment dates) to internal data sources and document types.
Data gathering: Pull loss run reports, data extracts from the claims system, and inventories of claims files for Property & Homeowners, Auto, and Commercial Auto.
Document roundup: Retrieve FNOL forms, ISO claim reports, adjuster notes, correspondence logs, repair estimates, independent appraisals, medical records, police reports, litigation pleadings, total loss valuation reports, subrogation recovery documentation, and SIU referral notes.
Manual reading & abstraction: Review claim notes and documents page by page to find exact dates of contact, reserve changes, evaluation milestones, and payment details; then enter them into spreadsheets.
Reconciliation & corrections: Cross-check extracted data against policy records (dec pages, endorsements, exclusions, limits, deductibles) and system fields; reconcile inconsistencies and resolve missing data.
Narratives & methodology: Draft written explanations describing process, controls, and methodologies (e.g., how timeliness was calculated) tailored to each state’s expectations.
Peer review & legal review: Validate findings, verify sample selections, and ensure consistent interpretation across Property & Homeowners, Auto, and Commercial Auto.
Submission packaging: Produce regulator-ready CSV/XLSX files and narrative PDFs, and provide a secure transfer with an audit trail.
Follow-up Q&A: Answer DOI clarifications, often requiring re-reading and re-citing documents under tight turnaround times.

This workflow consumes scarce time from Compliance Analysts, claims operations, and IT. It’s error-prone (fatigue and inconsistency), hard to scale during CAT surges or multi-state exams, and risky—one missed exclusion, late contact date, or misread endorsement can undermine the response or trigger extended market conduct review.

The Nuances for Compliance Analysts by Line of Business

Property & Homeowners

Regulators often probe catastrophe handling (e.g., hurricanes, wildfires), dwelling coverage determinations, additional living expense (ALE) timeliness, depreciation explanations, contractor estimates vs. supplements, and fair claim settlement practices. Evidence sits across dec pages, endorsements (wind/hail deductibles, named storm deductibles), adjuster notes, contractor invoices, engineering reports, and claim correspondence. Compliance Analysts must align dates of inspection, estimate issuance, payment, and denial or partial denial against state-specific timeframes and disaster bulletins—often unique to each event.

Auto

Personal Auto reviews commonly include first contact timeliness, liability determination, medical payment/PIP processing rules, total loss valuations, bodily injury demand handling, fraud/SIU referrals, and subrogation. The data lives in FNOL entries, ISO claim reports, police reports, appraisals, repair estimates, medical records, demand letters, and settlement agreements. Regulators expect precise calculations: calendar days vs. business days, treatment of weekends/holidays, and appropriate use of reason codes in denials and EOBs.

Commercial Auto

Commercial Auto adds fleet exposure complexity, multiple insured entities, additional insured endorsements, MCS-90 considerations, and higher-severity losses with complex subrogation and litigation trails. Evidence spans motor vehicle accident reports, fleet maintenance logs, driver statements, telematics, litigation pleadings, and detailed payment and reserve histories. Compliance Analysts must tie each regulatory metric to source pages while reconciling policy schedules, coverage layers, and endorsements.

What Regulators Actually Ask For

While every DOI data call is different, typical requests include:

Claim-level fields: claim number, policy number, coverage type, date of loss, date reported, first contact date, inspection date, coverage decision date, closure date
Timeliness metrics: days to first contact, days to decision, days to first payment, days to closure
Denial details: denial date, denial reason code, page citations to policy provisions and correspondence
Payment details: payment dates, amounts, coverage buckets (e.g., PD, BI, ALE, Dwelling), and page citations
Reserves: initial and changes, dates and rationale from adjuster notes
Communications: copies and dates of letters/emails, explanations of benefits, repair approvals, and settlement offers
Policy specifics: dec pages, applicable endorsements and exclusions, limits, deductibles
Special topics: catastrophe coding and bulletins, total loss valuation methodology, SIU referral documentation, subrogation and salvage outcomes

Doc Chat maps to each of these with configurable presets and produces regulator-ready workbooks plus narrative methodology statements that match your internal standards and the state’s guidance.

AI Pull Data for Insurance Regulatory Request: Step-by-Step Automation

Here’s how Doc Chat automates end-to-end DOI response across Property & Homeowners, Auto, and Commercial Auto:

Request parsing: Load the DOI data call request letter. Doc Chat reads, itemizes required data elements, and creates a structured capture plan (e.g., fields, definitions, calculation rules, sample sizes).
Document ingestion: Drag-and-drop or bulk ingest claims files, policy records, loss runs, FNOL packets, ISO claim reports, estimates, appraisals, medical records, police reports, demand packages, litigation pleadings, payment ledgers, reserve notes, and correspondence logs.
Normalization and OCR: Convert mixed formats (PDFs, images, emails) into structured, searchable content; deduplicate and index by claim and document type.
Extraction and cross-checks: Extract the requested fields and cross-validate with both documents and system data. If the claim system says first contact was 3/12, Doc Chat checks the letter or call note page where 3/12 appears and flags discrepancies.
Calculations: Apply your state-specific business rules (calendar vs. business days, catastrophe exceptions, tolling rules) to calculate timeliness and other metrics.
Citations and audit trail: Every extracted field is linked to page-level citations. Auditors and regulators can click to see the exact page and highlighted excerpt.
Regulator-ready outputs: Export CSV/XLSX data call files and draft narratives explaining the methodology, controls, and definitions—customized for each state DOI.
Real-time Q&A: During regulator Q&A, ask follow-up questions like “Show the policy exclusion cited in all denials in the Florida OIR sample” and get answers instantly with cites.

Quickly Respond to Insurance DOI Document Requests: Example Prompts

Compliance Analysts use Doc Chat like a specialized colleague. Example prompts that work across Property & Homeowners, Auto, and Commercial Auto:

How It Works in Practice: Line-by-Line Examples

Property & Homeowners: CAT Data Call

A state DOI requests a 200-claim Hurricane sample. Doc Chat ingests claim files, policy records, and loss runs; then extracts and calculates days-to-first-contact, inspection, decision, and payment. It identifies wind/hail deductibles, named-storm endorsements, and coverage limits from dec pages and endorsements, citing the exact pages. The workbook and narrative explain methodology (calendar vs. business days, catastrophe tolling, bulletin-specific rules). If the regulator asks, “Which denials referenced the wear-and-tear exclusion?” Doc Chat returns a list with quotes and page links.

Auto: PIP Timeliness and BI Settlements

Florida OIR wants PIP timeliness metrics and evidence of compliance with statutory payment rules. Doc Chat finds first received dates for medical bills, calculates the statutory payment deadline per bill, and cross-references payment ledgers to identify any lateness—citing EOB pages and correspondence. For bodily injury, it aggregates demand letters, settlement offers, negotiation notes, and final settlement dates; then aligns them with policy limits, prior payments, and reserve histories. Outputs are ready for regulator review with full traceability.

Commercial Auto: Complex Liability and Subrogation

A multi-state data call seeks timeliness, liability decisions, and subrogation outcomes for large-fleet losses. Doc Chat pulls driver statements, telematics summaries, police reports, litigation filings, and subrogation recoveries. It constructs timelines from FNOL to closure, including reserve changes and litigation milestones. It separates coverage layers and applies endorsement logic for additional insureds. Results flow into a single XLSX with cited pages and a narrative that explains methodology and unique Commercial Auto nuances.

From Manual Abstraction to Intelligence: Why This Isn’t Just “Extraction”

DOI responses aren’t about copying values from forms. Much of what regulators want is inferred from context—when “first contact” counts, which correspondence triggers a statutory clock, or which endorsement truly applies. This is the difference between web scraping and document intelligence. As we write in Beyond Extraction, document scraping at this level is about inference, not location. Doc Chat encodes your unwritten rules into repeatable logic so Compliance Analysts get consistent, defensible outcomes every time.

Security, Explainability, and Audit-Readiness

Compliance work demands airtight security and transparent reasoning. Doc Chat provides:

SOC 2 Type 2 controls and governance
Page-level citations for every field, with line highlighting where needed

Frequently Asked Questions from Compliance Analysts

Will the AI “hallucinate” or make up values?

When constrained to reading your documents and extracting specific fields, modern AI systems rarely hallucinate. Doc Chat is further constrained by validation rules and must cite the page where it found the data. If a value isn’t present, it flags the absence instead of guessing. We discuss this in our piece on automating data entry (link).

How is my data protected?

Nomad Data maintains SOC 2 Type 2 controls, supports role-based access, and ensures your data is never used to train general models by default. We follow robust privacy and governance practices suitable for high-stakes claims and compliance work.

Can Doc Chat handle scanned PDFs, emails, and images?

Yes. Doc Chat includes advanced OCR, handles mixed-format uploads, and normalizes unstructured content into reliable, searchable text. It is designed for the messy reality of claim and policy documentation.

Can it adapt to different states’ definitions?

Yes. We codify your state-by-state rules for timeliness, holidays, catastrophe tolling, denial reason codes, and more. Presets allow one-click switching between state methodologies for the same underlying data set.

Quantifying ROI and Organizational Benefits

Compliance teams that move to Doc Chat typically see:

50–90% reduction in time-to-respond for multi-claim DOI data calls
30–60% reduction in external consulting and overtime
Meaningful reduction in market conduct exposure from inconsistent or incomplete responses
Higher morale and lower turnover as analysts focus on investigation and judgment, not rote reading

These results align with industry-wide findings that complex document automation yields dramatic time and cost savings while improving accuracy, as discussed across our resources and client stories. When the machine handles rote reading at scale, Compliance Analysts apply their expertise where it truly matters—decisions, not data entry.

Beyond DOI: Additional Compliance and Audit Use Cases

Once implemented for DOI data calls, Doc Chat can extend to:

Market Conduct Exams: Produce samples with citations and standardized narratives across lines of business.
Internal QA and File Audits: Automate periodic reviews for timeliness and documentation completeness.
Complaint Response Files: Compile consumer complaint documentation across Property & Homeowners, Auto, and Commercial Auto with full traceability.
