Pouch Insurance Services chooses Milliman AccuRate score as usage-based insurance solution, launching them to the forefront of commercial auto insurance

SEATTLE, Nov. 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Milliman, Inc., the premier global consulting and actuarial firm, today announced that Pouch Insurance Services has chosen Milliman AccuRate Fleet^TM as its platform for usage-based insurance scores. AccuRate Fleet is a usage-based insurance score designed to enable more accurate pricing of fleet exposure and driving behavior risk. Developed by Milliman actuaries and data scientists, AccuRate Fleet is based on over a billion miles of commercial auto driving data and thousands of crashes.

"The Milliman AccuRate score allows us to offer extremely fair and accurate pricing to our customers and rewards them with lower rates for driving carefully and managing their fleets," says Steve McKay, CEO of Pouch. "Milliman's combination of statistical and regulatory expertise made the process a win for us."

Milliman AccuRate Fleet is a risk score relating driving behavior to the likelihood of a crash, and allows commercial auto insurers, MGAs, and startups to better match price to risk and improve retention of customers with safe driving habits. Unlike existing filed telematics scores, AccuRate Fleet is developed using over 2.7 billion miles of commercial auto data. These scores have been reviewed and approved by state insurance regulators for use in ratemaking.

"We are excited to help Pouch accelerate the launch of their innovative commercial auto program," says Peggy Brinkmann, a Milliman principal and consulting actuary. "The Milliman AccuRate Fleet score not only helps programs like Pouch's better match rate to risk, but also get to market quickly since it's been approved in 27 states and counting."
