NAGS in a perfect world would ...

Curious why nobody has any opinion, comment, suggestion or otherwise on the "methodology" review. Is it inappropriate ?

Re: NAGS in a perfect world would ...

You are a complete nitwit, ohm.

This was posted December 29: Mitchell Re-Issues January NAGS Benchmark, Will Undergo Methodology Review. And then there were, as of this moment, 4 people who replied---- INCLUDING YOU, ohm.

Isn't that all commentary, including YOURS, nitwit???????

Re: NAGS in a perfect world would ...

Well Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you.
Glad to see things never change

Re: NAGS in a perfect world would ...

yeah i saw people commenting on the pricing and agreed list prices to low, maybe they should honor mfrs am list prices or dist or brands etc , you know pgw ws is x$, pilk ws is x$, dot # ws is x$, lsg carlite mopar etc or something like that... but how about labor or their numbering system... how could it be improved... listen no matter what $ you pick it wont stop tpas etc from low balling you but honestly all glass is not the s6ame and pricing should refles=ct that.

Re: NAGS in a perfect world would ...

J.A.D. prosperous new year to you :) !

Re: NAGS in a perfect world would ...

just having fun here

Re: NAGS in a perfect world would ...

I'll be the first to admit I have a hard time following some of the links OHM posts, but as to industry issues, I wouldn't call him a nitwit.

Frankly, I agree with him about why there isn't more discussion about this completely unprecedented NAGS "recall" of the Jan update.

Who facilitated it? Who has enough "pull" with NAGS to cause this? What is the catalyst for it? Was it smaller shops? Was it TPAs? Was it insurers? Was it network shops? Was it "the" large vendor?

If you can't see the importance of the answer to those questions, and where it leads, no matter "who" is the answer, then you're missing a huge point, and now, potentially a huge opportunity.

No matter what happens now, whether we get answers, or not, Mitchell and NAGS has a very large problem.

Myself, personally, I expect them to "go dark" and once again try to hide behind the "proprietary methodology" screen to avoid scrutiny.

It won't likely work, this time, though, due to two key points that I believe may have brought this about since last March. Gerber, and the Georgia Supreme Court decision.

And that's all I have to say 'bout that....

Re: NAGS in a perfect world would ...

Mark 1, I said it on December 30 and I repeat here:

Mitchell realizes the industry is finally waking up to the absurdity of what it does and they are rightly fearful of becoming irrelevant as far as pricing is concerned.

THIS FORUM, which they monitor, has been hammering them for their insurance company loving bias and pointing to the total and absolute nonsense of their "benchmark" crappola which equates with nothing in the real world.

They are getting real nervous, Mark 1, AS THEY SHOULD!!!!!!!!!!!! They are not at all happy by the posts of people like my own man and old timer. They see the cracks in their armor and don't know whether to **** or go blind.

Re: NAGS in a perfect world would ...

Mark1. Can you give us a link to the Georgia case or tell us where to find it? I looked for it without success. Thanks!

Re: NAGS in a perfect world would ...

I trust, and hope, that this will need no explanation as to its relevance. I believe RDN did an outstanding job of reporting on this one.

Apologies for not getting it for you sooner.

funny have that bookmarked

Re: NAGS in a perfect world would ...

upon the integrity wisdom and Independence of the judiciary depend the sacred rights of free men and women
a little dated

Re: NAGS in a perfect world would ...

I found it, thanks. And I see that the Georgia Supreme Court refused to hear the case. That's great news. The fact is State Farm is in breach of contract on thousands of claims because they do not follow their policy language. Too bad more people don't hold their feet to the fire.

and the walls come tumblin down.

Re: NAGS in a perfect world would ...

Now, just connect the dots........and see the forest through, or in spite of, the trees. Check the timing, read the program and see who the cast, or players, consist of, and....did I mention connect the dots? lol

Few will.

Re: NAGS in a perfect world would ...

credibility GONE>>>>>>>>>>>“There was some erroneous data in there,” Rozint said. “… It basically caused a drop in the list price that shouldn’t have happened.”

how do we make that difference up?

who trusts them in the future?

why pay for bad data?

Re: NAGS in a perfect world would ...

For kicks and giggles check the current Nags with 2014 or 2015.
