Pricing Pricing based upon GAO 3/2002 report:
Identity Theft: Prevalence and Cost Appear to be growing
Includes monetary loss information as reported to the FTC Clearinghouse
Early reporters may not know extent of monetary damages
Monetary damages include long distance calls, document copies, fees, postage, attorney fees

Pricing
Further…non-monetary damages are reported to the FTC Clearinghouse
include time lost from work, that is considered a monetary loss under the new endorsement
Price should reflect that coverage is provided on a discovery basis, which is broader coverage

Pricing - Adjustments to data Trend and ALAE: to reflect that these costs are
increasing over time and the cost of ALAE adjustment is 20%
Development: since the majority of the reported incidents do not reflect the final cost to the victim
assumed 80% would be in the next cost range up, special treatment for “no cost” fraud claims
80% of the reports to FTC indicating no monetary losses were distributed to the other categories proportionally
