Historical Basis
• GPV – part of HIRMR – statutory
• PDR – GAAP – came about with codification – SSAP #54
• PDR not specifically part of HIRMR

Purpose of GPV & PDR
• Tools to help assess financial condition
• Impact on surplus and net income

Background for GPV and PDR
• GPV – ultimate test of reserve adequacy – part of NAIC HIRMR – introduction
• GPV – Reserve adequacy, long-term financial solvency
• PDR – came to light from accounting – codification of SSAPs
• PDR – Premium adequacy, short-term premium rate sufficiency
![Page 6: 1 Actuarial Management Resources, Inc. 2006 SEAC Spring Meeting Miami Beach, Florida Individual Health Topics Exploring Methods for Premium Deficiency.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062618/5513f3e155034646298b61ac/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

Regulation – GPV
• NAIC HIRMR & SSAP Appendix A-010 - “With respect to any block of contracts, or with respect to an insurer’s health business as a whole, a prospective gross premium valuation is the ultimate test of reserve adequacy …”
• SSAP #54 – items 10 & 23. – “A prospective gross premium valuation is the ultimate test of reserve adequacy as of a given valuation date.”

Regulation – PDR
• NAIC HRGM - “a reserve that is established when future premiums and current reserves are not sufficient to cover future claim payments and expenses for the remainder of a contract period”
• SSAP #54 – item 18. – “When the expected claims payments or incurred costs, claim adjustment expenses and administration costs exceed the premiums to be collected for the remainder of a contract period, a premium deficiency reserve shall be recognized …”

Calculation Mechanics
Reserve equals• Sum of:
• PV of future claims, • PV of future expenses, commissions, • PV of claim & contract reserves at end of
period
• Less the sum of:• PV of future premiums,• Current claim & contract reserves,• Current accrual for future expenses.

Grouping of Business
• GPV – no guidelines, typically done for insurer’s health block as a whole – may look at major lines
• PDR – SSAP #54 – “contracts shall be grouped in a manner consistent with how policies are marketed, serviced and measured”
![Page 11: 1 Actuarial Management Resources, Inc. 2006 SEAC Spring Meeting Miami Beach, Florida Individual Health Topics Exploring Methods for Premium Deficiency.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062618/5513f3e155034646298b61ac/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Grouping of Business – HRGM
• “Reflect how premium rates are developed and applied.”
• Other criteria: marketing methods, geographic ratings, guarantee periods
• Materiality
![Page 12: 1 Actuarial Management Resources, Inc. 2006 SEAC Spring Meeting Miami Beach, Florida Individual Health Topics Exploring Methods for Premium Deficiency.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062618/5513f3e155034646298b61ac/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Grouping – Regulatory Debates
• Extremes – Whole Company (1 projection) vs. Policy Forms (many projections)
• Question of offsets of deficiencies against sufficiencies
• Looking at possible modifications to HRGM
![Page 13: 1 Actuarial Management Resources, Inc. 2006 SEAC Spring Meeting Miami Beach, Florida Individual Health Topics Exploring Methods for Premium Deficiency.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062618/5513f3e155034646298b61ac/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

LHATF – Possible Changes
• Expand applicable lines of business to include 4 specified maximum groupings:1. Major Medical (inc. Med Supp, Dental, Vision, lines subject to inflation)2. LTC3. DI4. Limited Benefit (HI, CI, no cost trends)
• Within the 4 lines above, calculate PDR for material groups, sufficiencies are allowed to offset deficiencies within the line
![Page 14: 1 Actuarial Management Resources, Inc. 2006 SEAC Spring Meeting Miami Beach, Florida Individual Health Topics Exploring Methods for Premium Deficiency.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062618/5513f3e155034646298b61ac/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Additional Grouping Issues
• Group and Individual may be combined within the 4 specified lines of business
• Some states may ignore the recommended changes to the HRGM. May require more detailed groupings at a smaller level.
• Not allow any offsets between sufficiencies and deficiencies regardless of groupings.

Time Period
• GPV – Longer Period (20 – 30 years) – most policies have lapsed off
• PDR – Shorter Period1. Short Term – contract period rates guaranteed or set – next policy anniversary or end of rate guarantee period2. Medium Term – several years till reflect underwriting impact
![Page 16: 1 Actuarial Management Resources, Inc. 2006 SEAC Spring Meeting Miami Beach, Florida Individual Health Topics Exploring Methods for Premium Deficiency.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062618/5513f3e155034646298b61ac/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Time Period – Issues
• Later period gains offset earlier period losses?
• Losses in later years, but can cancel business, do you need PDR?
• HRGM – “ending of the time period is more difficult to determine, and requires a substantial amount of judgment”.
• HRGM - Discourages using later period gains to offset early losses and/or assuming you can cancel the business
![Page 17: 1 Actuarial Management Resources, Inc. 2006 SEAC Spring Meeting Miami Beach, Florida Individual Health Topics Exploring Methods for Premium Deficiency.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062618/5513f3e155034646298b61ac/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Assumptions• Premium Rate Increases – reasonable, market
and regulatory restrictions• Claim Trends – Underwriting wear-off, adverse
selection due to rate increases, claim cost inflation
• Expenses – marginal vs. fully allocatedHRGM – “If other lines of business can cover overhead expenses, the test for a deficiency and the calculation of the deficiency reserve can be performed using only direct costs”. Document how overhead expenses are covered in total if not assumed in PDR calculations
![Page 18: 1 Actuarial Management Resources, Inc. 2006 SEAC Spring Meeting Miami Beach, Florida Individual Health Topics Exploring Methods for Premium Deficiency.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062618/5513f3e155034646298b61ac/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Assumptions - continued• Investment Income – Confusing language in HRGM
Life vs. P&C approach to discounting reserves caused some of language problems. Traditional reserve calculation that implicitly includes investment income vs. cash flow modeling that explicitly accounts for investment income.
• Taxes – Pre-tax vs. after-taxHRGM – “deficiency reserve should be calculated on a pre-tax basis; any tax impact related to the establishment of deficiency reserve should be incorporated into the calculation of deferred tax assets/liabilities under SSAP #10”.
• Margins – best estimate vs. margin for adverse deviationHRGM – no explicit requirement for margins – “reasonable” used throughout assumptions

Documentation!!!
• Proposed revisions to the HRGM have changed this section to be called “Disclosure and Documentation”.
• Would require disclosing the contract groupings within each specified line of business. Any change in groupings would also need to be disclosed.
• If PDR not required for any grouping, must document and disclose actuarial tests that established none was necessary.
• If PDR required, documentation should include1. Description of groupings2. Assumptions used in analysis3. Time period of projections

Future of PDR & GPV
• Principles-based Valuation• Life and Annuity Products – UL & Term• LTC – AAA State LTC Task Force
Principles-based Valuation Subgroup• All Health Lines of Business?

Case Study
