Capital Advantage Assurance Company
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.

policy, Capital Advantage Assurance Company (CAAC), a subsidiary of Capital BlueCross
(CBC), submits rates for transitional members effective January 1, 2018.

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 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 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

Taxes and Fees:
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.
Rate Development
Projected Paid and Incurred Claims are calculated as follows:
1. Gather claims experience as described in the Data section above.
a. Base Experience Period (BEP) Paid Claims, Capitation, and Rx Rebates
b. BEP Member Months
2. Develop BEP Paid and Incurred Claims:
𝐵𝐸𝑃 𝑃𝑎𝑖𝑑 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐼𝑛𝑐𝑢𝑟𝑟𝑒𝑑 𝐶𝑙𝑎𝑖𝑚𝑠 = 𝐵𝐸𝑃 𝑃𝑎𝑖𝑑 𝐶𝑙𝑎𝑖𝑚𝑠
𝐶𝑜𝑚𝑝𝑙𝑒𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝐹𝑎𝑐𝑡𝑜𝑟
The development of completion factors is described in Experience Period
Premium and Claims above.
3. Develop the BEP Paid and Incurred Claim PMPM:

4. Develop Trended Claim PMPM: Using the aggregate trend described in the Projection
Factors section above, trend the BEP Paid and Incurred Claim PMPM from the midpoint
of the experience period to the midpoint of the rating period.
𝑇𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑑𝑒𝑑 𝐶𝑙𝑎𝑖𝑚 𝑃𝑀𝑃𝑀= [𝐵𝐸𝑃 𝑃𝑎𝑖𝑑 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐼𝑛𝑐𝑢𝑟𝑟𝑒𝑑 𝐶𝑙𝑎𝑖𝑚 𝑃𝑀𝑃𝑀]× (1 + [𝑇𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑑%])𝑇𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑑 𝑀𝑜𝑛𝑡ℎ𝑠/12
