Individual Transitional Rates

January 1, 2018

Filing 17-89

Actuarial Memorandum

Background

On November 14, 2013, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) issued a letter

to the State Insurance Commissioners outlining a transitional policy for non-grandfathered

coverage in the individual and small group health insurance markets for policies effective

January 1, 2014. The transitional policy stated that policies subject to transitional relief are not

considered to be out of compliance with the following provisions of the Public Health Service

Act (PHS Act):

• Section 2701 (relating to fair health insurance premiums);

• Section 2702 (relating to guaranteed availability of coverage);

• Section 2703 (relating to guaranteed renewability of coverage);

• Section 2704 (relating to the prohibition of pre-existing condition exclusions or other

discrimination based on health status), with respect to adults, except with respect to

group coverage;

• Section 2705 (relating to the prohibition of discrimination against individual

participants and beneficiaries based on health status), except with respect to group

coverage;

• Section 2706 (relating to non-discrimination in health care);

• Section 2707 (relating to comprehensive health insurance coverage);

• Section 2709, as codified at 42 U.S.C. § 300gg-8 (relating to coverage for individuals

participating in approved clinical trials).

On February 23, 2017, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) announced that

they will extend their transitional policy to plan years beginning on or before October 1, 2018,

provided that all such plans end by December 31, 2018. Under this federal transitional policy,

health insurance issuers may choose to continue certain non-grandfathered coverage in the

individual and small group health insurance markets that would otherwise be cancelled, and

affected individuals and small businesses may choose to re-enroll in such coverage. As noted

in the federal guidance, policies subject to the transitional relief are not considered to be out of

compliance with certain provisions of the Public Health Service Act and the Affordable Care

Act.

Proposed Rates

CAAC is proposing an aggregate annual 30% rate increase. The rate change does not vary by

plan.

Experience Period Claims

Base Experience Period: The base experience period (BEP) includes completed fee-for-service

paid and incurred claims for dates of service between June 1, 2016 and May 31, 2017.

Paid Through Date: Claims in the BEP are paid through July 31, 2017

Estimated Incurred but Not Paid Claims: Paid claims by date of service come directly from

CBC’s data warehouse. The method for calculating incurred claims in the BEP is as follows:

1. Historical fee-for-service claims are viewed by date of service and date of payment in a

claims triangle.

2. The claims triangle payments are then accumulated by date of service to develop factors

that represent the rate of accumulation or rate of “completion”.

3. Historical rates of completion by duration are used to derive projected rates of

completion. Some of the methods used to develop projected completion factors are

averages (e.g. harmonic averages, time weighted averages, geometric averages) and

regression methods. Numerous items are considered when viewing these averages or

regression statistics, such as the impact of high claims on perceived completion patterns.

4. For durations that exhibit a projected completion factor greater than the Valuation

Actuary’s chosen threshold (e.g. 80% complete), cumulative paid and incurred claims

are divided by the projected completion factor to arrive at ultimate incurred claims. For

durations that are less than the chosen threshold, a projection methodology is used.

Similar to completion factor development, projection methodologies are worthy of a

lengthy discussion. In general, an ultimate incurred claims PMPM is derived by

projecting a recent 12-month period to the current month(s) and seasonally adjusting.

5. With all months having both a cumulative paid amount and an estimated ultimate

incurred amount, the completion factors used in pricing are calculated by taking the

Page 12: Filing at a Glance - Pennsylvania Insurance Department · CBC’s data warehouse. The method for calculating incurred claims in the BEP is as follows: 1. Historical fee-for-service

Page 3 of 7

quotient of the two. Allowed completion and incurred completion are assumed to be

identical.

6. Both allowed and paid claims in the BEP are completed by applying completion factors

by incurred month developed in Step 6.

𝐶𝑜𝑚𝑝𝑙𝑒𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑏𝑦 𝐼𝑛𝑐𝑢𝑟𝑟𝑒𝑑 𝑀𝑜𝑛𝑡ℎ

Rx Rebates: Prescription drug claims are net of Rx rebates.

Capitated Services: There are no capitated services attributable to this segment.

Projection Factors

Trend Factors: Trend levels reflect our best estimate of changes in utilization, provider

reimbursement contracts, the network of facilities and providers, disease management initiatives

and the impact of utilization management.

The following is a description of considerations used to determine trend.

1. Base Cost/ Change in hospital and physician contracting: The contracted increase in

reimbursements to hospitals and physicians is the basis of cost trends. CAAC uses a

hospital and physician contracting model to determine future trends. This model

contains all known contracted payment increases, as well as estimated increases in

provider payments.

2. Utilization Considerations:

a. Intensity of medical services rendered

b. Changes in place of service (e.g. continued migration of inpatient stays to

outpatient setting)

c. Further migration from brand prescription drugs to generic prescription drugs

d. Favorable impacts of value based benefits designs

3. Intensity: Intensity is defined as the amount of inputs used to provide each unit of

service. This can best be seen in an example:

Year 2017

Type of Service Units Cost per Unit

X-Ray 1 $200

MRI 1 $5,000

Total 2 $5,200

Year 2018

Page 13: Filing at a Glance - Pennsylvania Insurance Department · CBC’s data warehouse. The method for calculating incurred claims in the BEP is as follows: 1. Historical fee-for-service

Page 4 of 7

Type of Service Units Cost per Unit

X-Ray 0 $200

MRI 2 $5,000

Total 2 $10,000

Total Annual Trend 92%

Please see Exhibit A – Trend for all trend values. Trend values and weights are taken directly

from 1/1/2018 Small Group CAAC filing (CABC-131022141), as CBC expects the individual

transitional claims trend to more closely align with the small group market versus the individual

ACA market.

Morbidity Adjustment: No morbidity adjustment is applied.

Benefit Adjustment: No benefit adjustment is applied as the benefits in the projection period

are the same as those in the BEP.

Non-Benefit Expenses and Profit & Risk

Administrative Expense Load:

1. Administrative Expense: Calculated using an allocation method from CAAC’s finance

department, and trended to the rating period. Costs are allocated according to results

reported through a company-wide questionnaire. On an annual basis, each cost center

within the company completes a questionnaire listing the distribution of costs (in

percentage terms) by product as well as by market segment. For example, the

questionnaire will ask what percentage of time is spent on PPO versus HMO versus

Drug versus Medicare. And separately will ask what percentage of time is spent on

large group, small group, individual, and government programs. Using those

distributions, all costs needed to perform the business are allocated to the proper market

segments and lines of business. The administrative expense applied in the rate

development is the total expense allocated to CAAC individual products.

2. Broker Expense: CAAC’s transitional YTD 2017 broker fee PMPM.

3. Identity Theft Coverage: Identity protection offering will include the following

components:

a. Credit monitoring – Monitors activity that may affect credit

b. Fraud detection – Identifies potentially fraudulent use of identity or credit

c. Fraud resolution support – Assists members in addressing issues that arise in

relation to credit monitoring and fraud detection

Page 5 of 7

1. Fee for Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Trust Fund (PCOR): As per the Notice of

Proposed Rulemaking for Fees on Health Insurance Policies and Self-Insured Plans for

the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Trust Fund (REG-136008-11), 77 Fed. Reg.

22691: For policy years ending on or after October 1, 2013, and before October 1,

2014, the applicable dollar amount in $2 per member per year ($0.17 PMPM), trended

annually. At an estimated trend of 4%, the 2018 projected fee is $0.20 PMPM.

2. Health Insurer Fee (HIF) – Section 9010 of PPACA and Section 1406 of the

Reconciliation Act (which modified PPACA) refer to HIF. The fee is a fixed-dollar

amount distributed across health insurance providers: $8 billion in 2014, $11.3 billion

in 2015-2016, suspended in 2018, and $14.3 billion in 2018.

3. Premium Tax: Premium tax does not apply to CAAC.

Please see Exhibit B – Retention for all retention values.
