Utah Accident & Health Survey
Instructions & Form

Who is required to file?
Fraternal, Health, Life and Property & Casualty insurers who report accident & health business in Utah on the Utah State page of the NAIC Annual Statement are required to file this survey. All other insurers are exempt. The completed survey is due April 1, 2012. Failure to file by the deadline may subject your company to the enforcement penalties under Utah Code Annotated 31A-2-308.
Changes made to the survey for 2011
(Important: Please Read!)
The Utah Accident & Health Survey for 2011 has undergone major changes in order to comply with the new statutory reporting requirements made to the Utah Insurance Code during the 2009 Legislative Session. Please review the instructions and new survey form carefully so that you will understand how to report your data under the new system. . This will save your time and ours, and reduce the number of corrections after the survey is filed. However, we also recognize that these changes may be confusing and we will work with you to understand the new survey form and file your survey.
Please note that the Utah Insurance Department will only accept electronic submissions of the Utah Accident & Health Survey via an MS Excel spreadsheet electronic data file submitted through email. Hard copy (paper) or Adobe PDF submissions are NOT acceptable. Also, do not make any changes to the formatting of the Excel survey form. This file is designed to allow us to import your data directly into a software database, while attempting to remain “user friendly”. Any changes to the line numbers, columns, or other parts of the survey form (other than simple data entry) may cause errors when we import your survey form.
Please remember each insurer is required to file a complete survey. In cases where your company has nothing to report, answer with a “0” rather than leaving a section blank. To make this easier, we have pre-populated the survey with sample data, so that you can change just the sections that are applicable to your company. This includes providing a contact person, with correct contact information, including a valid telephone number and email address.
Please note that all data in survey should be whole numbers. Use of decimals creates rounding errors when the data is processed.
Also, please only submit one company per Excel form. Filings with multiple companies in multiple Excel sheets will not import correctly.
