Classification Mapping Tables
 Breaking through the information
silos caused by the multitude of insurance
coding systems can improve data integrity,
productivity, and produce better management
information.
MarketStance has
directly mapped NAICS classification codes
to the industry GL classifications, adding
to its established NAICS to SIC mapping
and business class to workers compensation
class mapping systems.
Developed through
a bottom-up underwriting analysis of NAICS
to GL class correspondence, MarketStance
Classification Mapping is solidly focused
on underwriting issues. It includes a significant
proportion of one-to-one mappings and a
98% match of GL codes, both advantages over
other available translations.
MarketStance works
with carriers to refine these mapping tables
to their specific needs.
