The National Council on Compensation Insurance (NCCI) has given SFM excellent marks for the quality of its data reporting, continuing a series of recognition from the organization. The NCCI is the nation’s most comprehensive source for workers’ compensation data, insights and solutions.

Recently released results from 2025 reflect SFM’s commitment to accurate reporting in several categories:

• Financial data
• Unit statistical data
• Policy data
• Medical data
• Indemnity data

“The accuracy of our data reporting makes SFM a better carrier and makes doing business easier for agents and policyholders. We put a great deal of effort into ensuring accuracy,” said Brian Bent, SFM Vice President and Director of Underwriting. “Quality data leads to a quality experience. And SFM’s grades from NCCI are important to us and our partners.”

It’s uncommon for SFM to receive notices about issues with data reporting, said Bent, who also serves on the NCCI Underwriting Committee. SFM has received exceptional grades from the NCCI consistently over the years.

Mike Happe, Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer at SFM, said accurate data reporting also helps agents spend less time on policy tweaks or corrections, and makes it easier to track down experience modification factor numbers.

“Plus, having precise data also frees up agents to manage accounts and prospect for new business,” Happe said. “SFM is committed to quality customer service, and that extends to our data reporting.”
