Real-time Alerts and Notifications
This feature provides timely alerts and notifications to users regarding crucial updates and deadlines. The system automatically alerts users when there are changes in instructions, templates, or guidance from SERFF that need to be incorporated into their ongoing work.
By using these alerts and notifications, users can:
- Stay informed in real-time about upcoming or past due deadlines, ensuring no task is missed.
- Receive notifications about any changes to templates or guidance, minimizing the risk of submission failure.
- Avoid the cumbersome process of navigating the SERFF portal to find updates.
- Improve efficiency and reduce confusion by eliminating the need for multiple communication channels for updates.
Efficient Assignment Management
Assignment Management significantly enhances the efficiency and organization of workflows, allowing tasks to be tracked, assigned, and completed in a timely manner. It’s a crucial feature that aids in meeting filing deadlines and improves overall productivity.
For administrators: Maintain oversight of all tasks and their statuses
Administrators can efficiently delegate tasks to editors based on their area of responsibility or specific state requirements. Our ‘bulk actions’ feature enables administrators to assign larger task batches swiftly and efficiently.
For editors: Easy prioritization and improved workflow
ClearFile organizes tasks in a logical sequence, allowing editors to focus on the most pressing assignments first. Editors can categorize tasks by their status, the assigned user, or by the state.
Seamless Activities and Collaboration
Our Activities and Collaboration feature offers a real-time logging system and communication platform, facilitating effective interaction between editors and administrators. It records every action taken by users, from starting to completing tasks, providing a comprehensive view of team activity.
With Activities and Collaboration, users can:
- Gain a complete, real-time understanding of all tasks and team activity, improving project oversight.
- Identify potential issues early on, preventing project derailment and boosting efficiency.
- Discuss and address queries, overdue tasks or other issues directly within the activity feed.

At ClearFile, we prioritize data protection, and our SOC 2 Type 2 Report affirms our commitment to data security. Our systems undergo yearly HIPAA-HITECH IT Security Risk Analysis to maintain compliance with health information regulations. Additionally, our data is stored securely across multiple ISO/IEC 27001:2013 and NIST SP 800-53 certified locations.

And we meet all CMS and State DOI healthcare regulatory and compliance certifications.
Standardized reviews of an Issuers Good Standing are a key part of vetting new clients to ensure they are an active Life and Health, commercial product carrier authorized by states they participate in, and by CMS to transact fully insured health insurance to members and persons of a given geography. This includes robust evaluation of quality ratings, any conservator/receivership, and health and wellness of the Qualified Health Plan product to ensure there are no risks to be mitigated up front.
ClearFile proactively seeks out, addresses, and implements improved processes throughout each year. We perform robust lessons learned exercises during Q3 and Q4 of each year post-certification with each individual stakeholder business area (and collectively) to align on what went well, opportunities for improvement, and execution to the following year’s implementation and project plans. This is a critical exercise that we have proven to be incredibly successful with clients. From reducing change controls, objections, filing re-openings, to also modifying the product to be more competitive (e.g. implementing new VBID programs, QHP marketing AEP campaigns, evaluating new metrics and analytics, and more).
We’re active members of many health plan associations and we attend standing weekly CMS QHP Webinars, as a part of the REGTAP listening series. We also attend industry-wide calls to collect, disseminate, and distribute real-time updates to our client and carrier partners. Data is benchmarked year-over-year to assess changes and are cascaded down to stakeholders. This is inclusive, but not limited to real-time, door-to-door delivery of all state filing guidance and timeline updates via the SERFF system as binders are configured each year using our proprietary ClearFile Software integration with the NAIC’s open APIs attached to the SERFF system.
