The Working Group requests comments on the Minnesota Approach with any suggested adjustments as a candidate for a Single LTCI Multistate Rate Review Approach.  The Minnesota Approach is described here: https://content.naic.org/sites/default/files/documents/ltci-msa-framework.pdf

Suggested adjustments should be related to the concepts contained in the attached link: Recommendation on a single MSA actuarial approach after regulator feedback Document.

Please provide comments to eking@naic.org by Friday, May 3.

_______________________________________________________

To: Long-Term Care Actuarial (B) Working Group Members, Interested Regulators, and Interested Parties

Potential upcoming focus points for discussion on a single actuarial approach to multi-state long-term care rate increase reviews include:

  • Can adjustments to the Minnesota cost-sharing formula result, generally, in older age / higher duration / higher past rate increase policyholders having their future rate increases be more limited than under the current approach? 
  • Would such an adjusted Minnesota approach align with key principles (either developed by ACLI / AHIP or others that may be important to regulators and interested parties) such that it could be considered a candidate for the single actuarial approach?
  • Should interest rate history and expectations be a part of a single actuarial approach like it is with the Minnesota approach?
