Capital Advantage Assurance Company Individual Transitional Rates

January 1, 2020 Filing 19-81

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 March 25, 2019, 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, 2020, provided that all such plans end by December 31, 2020. 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.

Scope and Purpose By this filing, in accordance with Act 134 and the Affordable Care Act (ACA) transitional policy, Capital Advantage Assurance Company (CAAC), a subsidiary of Capital BlueCross (CBC), submits rates for transitional members effective January 1, 2020. Company Contact Information

Primary Contact Name: Stephanie Gray Primary Contact Telephone Number: (717) 541 – 7269 Primary Contact Email Address: [email protected]

Proposed Rates CAAC is proposing an aggregate annual 14.5% 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 January 1, 2018 and December 31, 2018. Paid Through Date: Claims in the BEP are paid through June 30, 2019 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 · 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

Page 3 of 8

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.

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 CBC’s 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. CBC uses the following to project future costs:

a. Vendor Physician Cost Model and Internal Hospital Contracting Model

i. The medical cost models use best estimates of Capital BlueCross (CBC)’s future contracting increases with physicians and hospitals. The models use cost estimates based on varying contract effective dates by physician and hospital. All facilities and providers are considered in this modeling effort (i.e. acute and non-acute, network and non-network, inpatient and outpatient, in- area and out-of-area). From there, a monthly anticipated cost (assuming static utilization) summary is produced which can be used in projecting future claims costs. Cost trends are determined at the CBC book of business level for all commercial business.

b. Internal Prescription Drug Trend Model i. Price Inflation

ii. Contract Pricing iii. Member Cost-Sharing iv. Units per Script v. Brand/Generic Mix

vi. Therapeutic Mix

Page 13: Filing at a Glance · 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

Page 4 of 8

vii. Cost per Script viii. Pipeline (new drugs)

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 e. Medical utilization estimates reviewed by CBC’s Chief Medical Officer

3. Leveraging: The trend model is based on allowed cost increases. Paid claims trend at a

higher rate than allowed due to leveraging. Leveraging is the impact of static cost-share, such as deductibles and copays, to the paid trend.

4. Intensity: Measure of cost increase due to change in treatment sophistication. An

example is migration from x-rays to MRIs at significantly higher cost.

5. Underwriting Cycle: The underwriting cycle is defined as the tendency to swing between profitable and unprofitable periods over time. The underwriting cycle is exacerbated partly by pricing performed with incomplete information as to the level of current experience trends. A reaction delay occurs, as carriers tend to rely on measurements of past experience in developing current pricing assumptions. As a result, carriers are often increasing their pricing trends when actual experience trends have begun to decline, and decreasing their pricing trends actual trends are increasing. CBC strives to mitigate the underwriting cycle by keeping trends consistent through times of increasing and decreasing claim cost and utilization.

Please see Exhibit A – Trend for all trend values. Cost and Utilization trend values are taken directly from 1/1/2020 Individual CAAC filing (CABC-131915676), as CBC expects future costs to follow a similar pattern. Weights are applied based on BEP transitional claims by claim type as displayed in the Rate Review Justification template. Please note Exhibit A1 showing Individual transitional historical trends, which are running significantly higher than pricing trends. This leads into the morbidity discussion directly below. Morbidity Adjustment: A morbidity factor is applied to trend to account for the wear off of medical underwriting at inception, at least 5 years ago. Exhibit A2 shows the 12-month rolling loss ratio and claim PMPM for this stable enrolled population. Just in the last 4 months, 12-month claim PMPMs have increased 6%. 2% is added to trend per year, for a total adjustment of 4%. 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 medically-underwritten individual products.

2. Broker Expense: CAAC’s transitional YTD 2019 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 Profit (or Contribution to Surplus) & Risk Margin:

4. Contingency Taxes and Fees:

1. 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 2017, $14.3 billion in 2018, moratorium in 2019, and reinstated in 2020. The fee applied is equal to that calculated in 1/1/2020 Individual CAAC filing (CABC-131915676).

2. 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:
