INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING MEDICARE SUPPLEMENT HEALTH CARE SERVICE PLAN CONTRACT EXPERIENCE EXHIBIT

Experience on plan contracts issued more than three years prior to the reporting year should be shown separately as indicated on the form. For example, for the reporting year ended 12/31/88 (filed on June 30, 1989), experience on plan contracts issued in 1985 and prior should be shown separately from that of plan contracts issued in 1986 and later. For group coverage, the year of issue should be based on when the contract was issued if available; otherwise use the master plan contract year of issue.
Allocation of reserves on a state-by-state basis should be on sound actuarial principles and be consistent from year to year.
Membership or plan contract fees, if any, constitute, and should be included with, prepaid or periodic charges earned. Earned prepaid or periodic charges may be shown on an annual basis net of loadings for nonannual modes.
Mass marketing group coverage subject to individual loss ratio standards should be included with individual plan contracts.
Any dividends paid to subscribers should be included with costs for health care.
Neither costs for health care services nor earned prepaid or periodic charges should be adjusted for changes in plan contract (additional) reserves.

DEFINITIONS

For purposes of this form:

“Costs for health care services” means payment for health care services plus the increase in claim reserves. Claim reserves include only those unpaid liabilities for claims that have already been incurred. Costs for health care services in this exhibit do not include plan contract additional reserves.
