Who Milliman IntelliScript is and who relies on its reports
Milliman IntelliScript is part of Milliman, Inc. The CFPB says it collects prescription drug purchase history, uses it to estimate the relative mortality risk of life insurance applicants, and provides risk scores for underwriting. Its consumer mailing address is in Brookfield, Wisconsin. The FTC’s 2008 order described Milliman, Inc. as a Washington corporation based in Seattle, and described IntelliScript as a service that provides individual medical profiles, including prescription drug purchase histories, to health and life insurance companies.
Milliman says it gathers your records only when you have signed an authorization as part of an application for individual insurance, and that its sources include pharmacies, health insurance companies and pharmacy benefit managers. It also says it is not an insurance company and does not decide whether to grant or deny coverage. The insurer makes that call, but it may make it based on what Milliman reports.
That matters because a prescription list can be read as a diagnosis. A medication filled by someone else, or listed under the wrong person, can make you look like a higher risk than you are. The result can be a denial, a higher premium, or an offer at a worse rating class.
The FTC’s 2008 order
In September 2007 the FTC announced settlements with Milliman and another provider of medical profiles used by insurers, alleging that the companies, as consumer reporting agencies, had not given insurers the FCRA’s Notice to Users. In its February 6, 2008 Decision and Order (Docket No. C-4213), the FTC required Milliman to provide the Notice to Users and to maintain reasonable procedures to limit reports to permissible purposes, to assure maximum possible accuracy, and to reasonably reinvestigate disputes. Milliman agreed to the order for settlement purposes without admitting a violation. By its terms, the order runs until at least February 6, 2028.
