The complaint index comes from two variables for each year and type of insurance.

  • The percentage of how many complaints Assurance America has filed against them with the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) compared to the total number of complaints filed with every company.

  • The percentage of how much insurance business (total policy premiums) Assurance America has compared to the total amount of business of all the other companies.
