Important note – Health, LPI and LTC

The MCAS application displays an indicator for each state in which, according to your 2020 financial annual statement (FAS), you reported premium meeting the threshold requirements. The FAS Supplemental Health Care Exhibit and LTC Reporting Forms 1 through 5 filing deadline is April 1. Therefore, the required to file (RTF) indicators will not be populated until your company has submitted the corresponding forms.

Additionally, hybrid-LTC premium is only reported on a national basis and is not available to indicate RTF on a state basis. If your company only has hybrid-LTC business in a state, you will not see a RTF indicator. You still MUST file an MCAS regarding your hybrid-LTC business regardless of whether you have a RTF indicator on your filing matrix. Please note that the RTF indicator is only a guide. If you know you have relevant business to report, it must be reported whether or not you see a RTF indicator.
