website: http://www.scc.virginia.gov/case.
(7) The Bureau shall file with the Clerk of the Commission an
affidavit of compliance with the notice requirements of Ordering Paragraph (4)
above.
(8) This matter is continued.
AN ATTESTED COPY hereof shall be sent by the Clerk of the
Commission to: C. Meade Browder, Jr., Senior Assistant Attorney General,
Office of the Attorney General, Division of Consumer Counsel, 202 N. 9th
Street, 8th Floor, Richmond, Virginia 23219-3424; and a copy hereof shall be
delivered to the Commission's Office of General Counsel and the Bureau of
Insurance in care of Deputy Commissioner Julie S. Blauvelt.
14VAC5-200-125. Annual rate reports.
A. Every insurer shall report to the commission annually by
June 30 premium rates for all long-term care insurance policies. The
commission shall establish the due date and post this report to the
Bureau of Insurance's webpage. The rate report shall include:
1. For policies issued on or after October 1, 2003, an
actuarial certification prepared, dated, and signed by a qualified actuary that
provides at least the following information:
a. A statement of the sufficiency of the current premium rate
schedule including:
(1) For policies currently marketed:
(a) The premium rate schedule continues to be sufficient to
cover anticipated costs under moderately adverse experience, consistent with
the margins as defined in the original rate filing or any subsequent rate
filing, and that the premium rate schedule is reasonably expected to be
sustainable over the life of the form with no future premium increases
anticipated; or
(b) If the statement in subdivision 1 a (1) (a) of this
subsection cannot be made, a statement that margins for moderately adverse
experience, consistent with the margins as defined in the original rate filing
or any subsequent rate filing, may no longer be sufficient. In this situation,
the insurer shall submit to the commission within 60 days of the date of the
actuarial certification a plan of action, including a timeframe, for the
reestablishment of adequate margins for moderately adverse experience so that
the ultimate premium rate schedule would be reasonably expected to be
sustainable over the future life of the form with no future premium increases
anticipated. Failure to submit a plan of action to the commission within 60
days or to comply with the timeframe stated in the plan of action constitutes
grounds for withdrawal or modification of approval of the form for future
sales.
(2) For policies that are no longer marketed:
(a) A statement that the premium rate schedule continues to be
sufficient to cover anticipated costs under best estimate assumptions; or
(b) A statement that the premium rate schedule may no longer
be sufficient. The insurer shall submit to the commission within 60 days of the
date of the actuarial certification a plan of action, including a timeframe for
the reestablishment of adequate margins for moderately adverse experience.
b. A description of the review performed that led to the
statement.
c. At least once every three years, an actuarial memorandum
dated and signed by a qualified actuary that supports the actuarial
certification and provides at least the following information:
(1) A detailed explanation of the data sources and review
performed by the actuary prior to making the statement in subdivision 1 a (1)
of this subsection;
(2) A complete description of experience assumptions and their
relationship to the initial pricing assumptions;
(3) A description of the credibility of the experience data;
and
(4) An explanation of the analysis and testing performed in
determining the current presence of margins.
2. For policies issued prior to October 1, 2003, the report
shall include a statement signed by a qualified actuary that a complete
analysis and review of the premium rates was conducted, a description of the
analysis, the date on which the analysis was completed, and any rate action
found to be necessary as a result of the analysis.
B. Reports required in this section shall be based on the
previous calendar year data and filed with the commission no later than June
30 the due date. The commission may request any additional
information that will support the information required in this section.
