Page 6: INSURANCE DEPARTMENT · 15 Gross Paid In and Contributed Surplus 15 Unassigned Funds (Surplus) 15 Recommendations 16 Subsequent Event 16 ... the procedures outlined in the NArC Financial

CONNECTICARE INSURANCE COMPANY, INC.

• Board of Director (Board) minutes from 2006 through the latest 2011 meeting; • Statutory Audit reports from 2006 through 2010, completed by the Company's

independent certified public accountants, Deloitte and Touche, LLP (D&T); • Management's Discussion and Analysis from 2006 through 2010; • Statements of Actuarial Opinion from 2006 through 2010; • Annual Statements filed with the Division from 2006 through 2010; • Documentation supporting Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) of

A comprehensive review was made ofthe financial analysis files and documents submitted to the Financial Analysis Unit of the Division, reports from the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) database, as well as the independent audit reports which indicated no material concerns with respect to financial condition or regulatory compliance issues.

All accounts and activities of the Company were considered in accordance with the risk­focused examination process.

CONNECTICARE INSURANCE COMPANY, INC.

HISTORY

The Company was incorporated on April 30, 2001, in Connecticut and was licensed to conduct accident and health business in Connecticut on December 18,2001. On June 19, 2001, an application seeking approval of acquisition of control of ConnectiCare Holding from the Connecticut Health Foundation by Carlyle Partners Holding, LLC (Carlyle) and Liberty Partners Holding, LLC (Liberty) was approved by the Division. The closing was consummated on June 22,2001. The ultimate owners of ConnectiCare Holding Company, Inc. (ConnectiCare Holding) following the close in June were Carlyle at 60% and Liberty at 40%. There were subsequent investments for a minority share by new equity investors and senior management investors.

As part of this restructuring, 100% ownership of the Company was transferred from ConnectiCare Holding to ConnectiCare Capital, LLC (ConnectiCare Capital). ConnectiCare Capital was formed primarily to secure debt financing required by the restructuring transaction. A credit facility of $70 million was put in place with ConnectiCare Capital consisting of a $55 million term loan and a $15 million revolving line of credit of which $2.2 million was drawn at closing.

The Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of ConnectiCare Capital, a wholly-owned subsidiary of ConnectiCare Holding. On January 19, 2005, the Division approved the acquisition of ConnectiCare Holding by Health Insurance Plan of Greater New York (HIP). On March 10, 2005, ConnectiCare Holding and its subsidiaries were acquired by Health Insurance Plan Holding, Inc. (HIP Holding), a Delaware domiciled holding company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of HIP, a not-for-profit company domiciled in the State ofNew York. On November 15, 2006, the board of directors of Group Health Incorporated (OHI), a New York not-for-profit health insurer, changed the bylaws of OHI, making HIP Foundation, Inc. the sole corporate member ofOHI. As a result of this change, OHI and HIP came under common control and operate as affiliated companies. The name "HIP Foundation, Inc." was changed to "EmblemHealth, Inc." (EH), the Company's ultimate parent.

bylaws, a different vote is required, in which case such express provision shall govern and control.

Director Title and Principal Business Affiliation Michael R. Wise President, ConnectiCare Insurance Company, Inc. Anthony L. Watson Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, EmblemHealth,

Inc. Michael D. Fullwood, Esq. Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer,

The executive officers serving the Company at December 31,2010, were as follows:

Name Title Michael R. Wise President William Mastro, Esq. Secretary Frank A. Scalise Vice President, Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer

The Company executives participate in a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (SERP) managed and held at both the holding company and the parent company level. The Company did not disclose its SERP as required by the Instructions for completing the notes to financial statement of the Annual Statement. It is recommended that the Company comply with the Instructions relating to the reporting its SERP in the notes to financial statement of the Annual Statement.

During our review of the corporate governance structure it was noted that the Company did not formally designate an audit committee or a group of individuals to constitute its audit committee. Section 38a-54-3, paragraph (d) of the CGS states: "Every insurer required to file an annual audited financial report pursuant to Sections 38a-54-l through 38a-54-l4, inclusive, of the Regulations of the Connecticut State Agencies, shall designate a group of individuals as constituting its audit committee, as defined in Section 38a-54-2 of this Regulation of the Connecticut State Agencies. The Audit Committee of an entity that controls an insurer may be deemed the insurer's audit committee for purposes ofSections38a-54-l through 38a54-14, inclusive, of the Regulations of the Connecticut State Agencies at the election of the controlling person".

It is recommended that the Company comply with the requirement of Section 38a-54-3 paragraph (d) of the CGS. It is noted that the Board has since passed a resolution

Page 10: INSURANCE DEPARTMENT · 15 Gross Paid In and Contributed Surplus 15 Unassigned Funds (Surplus) 15 Recommendations 16 Subsequent Event 16 ... the procedures outlined in the NArC Financial

CONNECTICARE INSURANCE COMPANY, INC.

designating the Audit & Finance Committee (AFC) of the Board of Directors of ConnectiCare Holding as its AFC.

INVESTMENTS

During our review of the 2006 through 2010 AFC meeting minutes of ConnectiCare Holding it was noted that the AFC review of ConnectiCare's investment portfolio results were inconsistent with the charter requirement. The charter of the AFC states that it shall "review investment policies and the performance of investments made under such policies and assist the Board of Directors in providing oversight of the Corporation's investment activities". The APC does not have a mechanism in place to approve investment transactions as required by Section §38a-102e of the CGS which states "no domestic insurer shall make any loan or investment, other than a life insurance policy loan secured by its policies in an amount not exceeding the net reserve value thereof, unless authorized or approved by its Board of Directors or a committee thereof responsible for supervising or making such loan or investment or by committees or persons pursuant to a delegation of authority. The terms and limitations of any delegation of authority by the Board of Directors or any committee shall be by its actions which are duly recorded".

It is recommended that the Company institute proper controls to ensure compliance with Section §38a-l02e of the CGS. It is noted that the Company has since amended the Charter for the AFC of ConnectiCare Holding to include the authorization and approval of any loan or investment transactions.

Reserve Risk

The Company's business is predominantly comprehensive, with a small amount of dental-only business. The Company also reported paid claims in runoff in 2010 for the Federal Employees Health benefits Plan (FEHBP). The Company divides its liabilities into two business segments (group and individual) and four service types (inpatient, outpatient, physician, and pharmacy). The unpaid claims liabilities are determined by a standard actuarial development method or a development method supplemented by a method using authorized days of inpatient care. DeWeese reconciled the statutory reserve by method and confirmed that the calculations are accurate and the methodologies and assumptions used were reasonable.

DeWeese's estimate of the reserves and IBNR were within a reasonable tolerance of the amounts held by the Company. The methodologies and assumptions used by the Company are consistent with prevailing actuarial practices, and the statutory reserves determined at year-end are actuarially reasonable. DeWeese found that the Company analyzed its 2010 CAE by function and assigned percentages to several of these functions that represent CAE reserves. DeWeese determined that the Company's methodology is conservative and in line with sound industry practices.

Pricing and Underwriting Risk

DeWeese reviewed the Company's processes and controls used to mitigate the pricing and underwriting risk which included but was not limited to: compliance with underwriting guidelines; ratemaking activities; and the frequency of and process for reporting pricing and underwriting considerations to management. DeWeese determined that the mitigating controls were appropriate for the risk assumed and the methodologies and assumptions used in the calculation were standard and reasonable. In addition, DeWeese found that the pricing and underwriting practices were consistent with the guidelines and with standard practices.

Liquidity Risk

The Company's liquidity risk relates to catastrophe exposure. Based on DeWeese's review it appears there is regular monitoring by the Company of its capital adequacy. In addition, DeWeese reviewed and found that the Company's liquidity risk mitigation practices are appropriate for the assumed risk.

Conclusion Based on the procedures performed by DeWeese, no material concerns were noted relating to the appropriateness of the reserve risk, pricing and underwriting risk, and liquidity risk. The overall reserves were reasonable in total.
