    4. Experience Period Premium and Claims

    The experience period premium and claims reported in Worksheet 1, Section I of the Unified Rate Review Template (URRT) are for the non-grandfathered, single risk pool compliant policies of the identified legal entity in the Small Group market.

    3. Proposed Rate Increase(s)

    Trend: This includes the impact of inflation, provider contracting changes, and increased utilization of services.

    Benefit modifications, including changes made to comply with updated AV requirements.

    The earned premium prior to MLR rebate is $291,353,033. The earned premium reflects the pro-rata share of premium based on policy coverage dates, and includes expected risk adjustments for the experience period.

    The MLR rebate estimate is $0, which is based on the actual 2015 rebate amount allocated to the experience period of January through December 2015. Using this MLR estimate, the net earned premium is $291,353,033 for the legal entity as reported in cell F14 of Worksheet 1, Section I of the URRT.

    Allowed and Incurred Claims Incurred During the Experience Period

    The allowed claims are determined by subtracting non-covered benefits, provider discounts, and coordination of benefits amounts from the billed amount.

    Allowed and incurred claims are completed using the chain ladder method, an industry standard, by using historic paid vs. incurred claims patterns. The method calculates historic completion percentages, representing the percent of cumulative claims paid of the ultimate incurred amounts for each lag month. Claim backlog files are reviewed on a monthly basis and are accounted for in the historical completion factor estimates.

    Allowed and incurred claims reported in Worksheet 1, Section I of the URRT are $259,537,847 and $218,642,589, respectively. Exhibit B provides claims detail.

    Premiums (net of MLR Rebate) in Experience Period

  • Rx Adjustments: Adjustments are made to reflect the difference between the experience period and the projection period in the Rx formulary and mail order programs. This factor also includes the impact of the pharmacy tier network and a retail Rx maintenance program for 2017. In addition, adjustments are made to account for waving the deductible on a defined list of preventive drugs for certain plans.

    Changes in the Morbidity of the Population Insured

    Adjustments are made to account for the differences between the average morbidity of the experience period population and that of the anticipated population in the projection period.

    The projected population consists of expected retention of existing policies and new groups to Anthem. The morbidity impacts of population movement are based on the experience period risk score data and estimated risk scores of the projected population. Exhibit F shows the morbidity factor.

    Changes in Benefits

    Changes in benefits include the following items. Exhibit F shows each adjustment factor.

    Essential Health Benefit (EHB) Changes: Adjustments are made to reflect the 2017 requirement to provide separate but equal visit limits for rehabilitative and habilitative therapies per HHS Notice of Benefit and Payment Parameters.

    Professional: Includes non-capitated primary care, specialist, therapy, the professional component of laboratory and radiology, and other professional services, other than hospital-based professionals whose payments are included in facility fees.

    Other Medical: Includes non-capitated ambulance, home health care, DME, prosthetics, supplies, vision exams, and dental services.

    Capitation: Includes all services provided under one or more capitated arrangements.

    Prescription Drug: Includes drugs dispensed by a pharmacy and rebates received from drug manufacturers.

    6. Projection Factors

    The experience period claims in Worksheet 1, Section I of the URRT are projected to the projection period using the factors described below. Exhibit C provides a summary of the factors.

    5. Benefit Categories

    The methodology used to determine benefit categories in Worksheet 1, Section II of the URRT is as follows:

    Inpatient Hospital: Includes non-capitated facility services for medical, surgical, maternity, mental health and substance abuse, skilled nursing, and other services provided in an inpatient facility setting and billed by the facility.

    Outpatient Hospital: Includes non-capitated facility services for surgery, emergency room, lab, radiology, therapy, observation and other services provided in an outpatient facility setting and billed by the facility.

  • Benefits in excess of the essential health benefits in the projection period are included. Exhibit G provides details of additional non-EHB benefits.

    Trend Factors (cost/utilization)

    The annual pricing trend used in the development of the rates is 12.9%. The trend is developed by normalizing historical benefit expense for changes in the underlying population and known cost drivers, which are then projected forward to develop the pricing trend. Examples of such changes include contracting, cost of care initiatives, workdays, costs associated with Hepatitis C, compound drugs, average wholesale price, and expected introduction of generic drugs. For projection, the experience period claims are trended 31.3 months from the midpoint of the experience period, which is June 24, 2015, to the midpoint of the projection period, which is February 2, 2018. Exhibit F has details.

    Projected trends include the estimated cost of the pharmaceutical Harvoni and other high-cost drugs for treating Hepatitis C. These cost estimates were based on Connecticut Small Group claims experience, together with CDC recommendations, Industry and Anthem Inc. data.

    Other Adjustments

    Other adjustments to the experience claims data include the following items. Exhibit C has the seasonality maturing adjustment factor that has been set to 1.0 to remove any seasonality maturing adjustment impact. Exhibit F and Exhibit G provide all other factors.

    Seasonality Maturing Adjustment: Adjustments are made when policies in the experience period have less than 12 months of experience in order to get them on a full 12-month basis that is expected in the projection period. The seasonality factors take into account claim seasonality during the year and the effect of calendar-year deductibles in health insurance.

    Change in Medical Management: This adjustment reflects the medical management costs not already included in the claims experience and trend.

    Rx Rebates: The projected claims cost is adjusted to reflect anticipated Rx rebates. These projections take into account the most up-to-date information regarding anticipated rebate contracts, drug prices, anticipated price inflation, and upcoming patent expirations.

    Projected cost of pediatric dental and vision benefits are included.

    Changes in Demographics (Normalization)

    The experience period claims are normalized to reflect anticipated changes in age/gender, area, network, and benefit plan in the projection period. Exhibit E provides detail of each normalization factor below:

    Age/Gender: The assumed claims cost is applied by age and gender to the experience period membership distribution and the projection period membership distribution.

    Area/Network: The area claims factors are developed based on an analysis of allowed claims by network, mapped to the prescribed rating areas using the groups 5-digit zip code.

    Benefit Plan: The experience period claims are normalized to reflect the average benefit level in the projection period using benefit relativities. The benefit relativities include the value of cost shares and anticipated changes in utilization due to the difference in average cost share requirements.

  • Projected Risk Adjustments PMPM:

    The projected risk adjustment PMPMs reported in the URRT are net of risk adjustment fees, and on a paid claim basis. The projected amount applied to the development of Market Adjusted Index Rate is on an allowed claim basis. Exhibit D and Exhibit H provide details.

    9. Paid to Allowed Ratio

    The Paid to Allowed Average Factor in Projection Period reported in Worksheet 1, Section III of the URRT is equal to the ratio of member weighted average paid claims PMPM by plan to the member weighted average allowed claims PMPM by plan for the essential health benefits. The projected membership by plan used in the weighted average is reported in Worksheet 2, Section II of the URRT.

    10. Risk Adjustment and Reinsurance

    Experience Period Risk Adjustment and Reinsurance Adjustments PMPM:

    Experience period risk adjustment used the 2015 actual risk adjustment, which we know the 2015 risk adjustment to be $54.04.

    ACA reinsurance recoveries do not apply to Small Group business. The Net Amt of Rein reported in Worksheet 2, section III of the URRT reflect the reinsurance contribution amounts for 2015.

    8. Credibility of Experience

    Credibility Method Used

    Based on an analysis of historical data, the standard for fully credible experience is 6,725 members.

    To determine credibility, the following formula was used:

    Resulting Credibility Level Assigned to Base Period Experience

    With 39,076 members, the credibility level assigned to the experience period claims is 100%.

    7. Credibility Manual Rate Development

    The experience period claims are 100% credible based on the credibility method used. Therefore, a manual rate was not used in the rate development.

  • Selling Expense

    Selling Expense represents projected broker commissions and bonuses associated with the broker distribution channel. Commissions will be paid for products both On-Exchange and Off-Exchange. An additional 2.5% selling expense was added to plans that will be sold through a private exchange.

    Specialty Expenses

    Specialty Expenses are projected administrative expenses for dental and vision coverage.

    Miscellaneous Item

    The miscellaneous items represent DOI fees and assessments, including the assessment from the State of Connecticut to cover the cost of the Vaccine Immunization Program and the DPH assessment.

    11. Non-Benefit Expenses and Profit & Risk

    Non-benefit expenses and profit & risk margin are explained below. Exhibit I shows the amount for each component.

    Administrative Expense

    Administrative Expenses are expected to be consistent with historical levels and are developed utilizing the same methodology as previous filings. Maintenance costs are projected for 2017 based on 2015 actual expenses with adjustments made for expected changes in business operations.

    Quality Improvement Expense

    Quality Improvement initiatives include programs such as Improve Health Outcomes, Activities to Prevent Hospital Readmissions, Improve Patient Safety and Reduce Medical Errors, Wellness and Health Promotion Activities, and Health Information Technology Expenses for Health Care Quality Improvements. The expense assumptions are based on historical expense level adjusted for cost inflation and anticipated changes in the programs.

    Projected ACA Reinsurance Recoveries Net of Reinsurance Premium

    Beginning in 2017, the Federal reinsurance program will no longer be in effect. The projected reinsurance contribution amount will be $0.

    Projected CSEHRP Reinsurance Recovery Net of Reinsurance Premium

    The Connecticut Small Employer Health Reinsurance Pool (CSEHRP) reinsurance risk mitigation program collects premium for each ceded member, submits payments for all ceded members with claims in excess of the attachment point, and assesses each carrier for any losses to the pool. Anthem expects a net gain for 2017 after ceding premium and claims to the CSEHRP pool and paying the annual assessment.

  • 13. Single Risk Pool

    The single risk pool for this filing is established according to the requirements in 45 CFR 156.80. It reflects all covered lives for every non-grandfathered product/plan combination sold in the Connecticut Small Group market by Anthem Health Plans, Inc.

    The Risk Adjustment User Fee is reflected in the risk adjustment component of incurred claims, therefore not included in taxes and fees.

    Profit & Risk Margin

    Profit & risk margin is reflected on a post-tax basis as a percentage of premium.

    12. Projected Loss Ratio

    Projected Federal MLR

    Exhibit J shows the projected Federal MLR for the products in this filing. The calculation is an estimate and is not meant to be a true measure for Federal or State MLR rebate purposes. The products in this filing represent only a subset of Anthem's Small Group business. The MLR for Anthem's entire book of Small Group business will be compared to the minimum Federal benchmark for purposes of determining regulation-related premium refunds. Also note that the projected Federal MLR presented here does not capture all adjustments, including but not limited to: three-year averaging, credibility, dual option, and deductible. Anthem's projected MLR is expected to meet or exceed the minimum MLR standards at the market level after including all adjustments.

    Taxes and Fees

    Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) Fee: The PCORI fee is a federally- mandated fee designed to help fund the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Trust Fund.

    ACA Insurer Fee: The health insurance industry is assessed a permanent fee, based on market share of net premium, which is not tax deductible. The tax impact of non-deductibility is captured in this fee. For Small Group, this is calculated as the member-month weighted average of the 2017 and 2018 Insurer Fees. For 2017, this fee is 0% due to a one-year suspension by the federal government.

    Exchange User Fee: The Exchange User Fee applies to Exchange business only, but the cost is spread across all plans in the market. The expected charge is estimated at 1.65% of premium. The resulting fee/percentage is applied evenly to all plans in the risk pool, both On and Off Exchange.

    The Exchange User Fee is applied as an adjustment to the Market Adjusted Index Rate at the market level as shown in Exhibit D.

    Premium taxes, federal income taxes, and state income taxes are also included.

  • The projection period Index Rate is equal to projected allowed claims PMPM for the essential health benefits of Anthem's non-grandfathered business in the Small Group market. It reflects the anticipated claim level of the projection period including impact from trend, benefit and demographics as described in Section 6 of this memo.

    The projected index rate is reported in Worksheet 1, Section III, cell V44 of the URRT. No benefits in excess of the essential health benefits have been included in this amount. Since quarterly trends are included in this filing, the index rate reflects the member weighted average of the projected index rates applicable for each quarter. Exhibit D provides details on this.

    Quarterly Premium Trend Factors

    Quarterly premium rate changes will be implemented for products both On-Exchange and Off-Exchange. Exhibit D provides the quarterly premium trend factors for the remainder of the year.

    15. Market Adjusted Index Rate

    The Market Adjusted Index rate is calculated as the Index Rate adjusted for all allowable market-wide modifiers defined in the market rating rules. The three market-wide adjustments - Federal reinsurance program adjustment (ended for 2017), risk adjustment and Exchange user fee adjustment - were described previously in the memo. In compliance with URR Instructions, these adjustments were applied on an allowed basis in the development of the Market Adjusted Index Rate, while they were reported in the URRT on a paid basis. Exhibit D illustrates the development of the Market Adjusted Index Rate.

    14. Index Rate

    Experience Period Index Rate

    The experience period Index Rate is equal to the allowed claims PMPM for the essential health benefits of Anthem's non-grandfathered business in the Small Group market. The Index Rate reported in Worksheet 1, Section I, cell G17 of the URRT is $553.00, rounded to the nearest whole dollar as instructed. No benefits in excess of the essential health benefits have been included in this amount.

    Projection Period Index Rate

  • Geographic Factor Calibration

    The geographic factors are developed from historical claims experience. The geographic calibration adjustment is calculated as the member weighted average of the geographic factors, using the projected membership distribution by area.

    Experience Period Plan Adjusted Index Rate

    The Plan Adjusted Index Rates for the experience period are reported in Worksheet 2, Section III of the URRT. They represent the Plan Adjusted Index Rates filed in 2015.

    17. Calibration

    The Plan Adjusted Index Rate is calibrated by the Age and Geographic factors so that the schedule of premiums rates for each plan can be further developed. Exhibit L shows both calibration factors.

    Age Curve Calibration

    The age factors are based on the Default Federal Standard Age Curve. The age calibration adjustment is calculated as the member weighted average of the age factors, using the projected membership distribution by age, with an adjustment for the maximum of 3 child dependents under age 21. Under this methodology, the approximate average age rounded to the nearest whole number for the risk pool is 45.

    16. Plan Adjusted Index Rate

    The Plan Adjusted Index Rate is calculated as the Market Adjusted Index Rate adjusted for all allowable plan level modifiers defined in the market rating rules. Exhibit K shows the development. The plan level modifiers are described below:

    AV and Cost Sharing Adjustments: This is a multiplicative factor that adjusts for the projected paid/allowed ratio of each plan, based on the AV metal value with an adjustment for utilization differences due to differences in cost sharing.

    Provider Network Adjustments: This is a multiplicative factor that adjusts for differences in projected claims cost due to different network discounts.

    Adjustments for Benefits in Addition to the Essential Health Benefits: This multiplicative factor adjusts for additional non-EHB benefits shown in Exhibit G.

    Adjustments for Distribution and Administrative Cost: This is an additive adjustment that includes all the selling expense, administration and retention Items shown in Exhibit I, with the exception of the Exchange user fee. The Exchange user fee has been included in the Market Adjusted Index Rate at the market level.

  • 19. Actuarial Value Metal Values

    The Actuarial Value (AV) Metal Values reported in Worksheet 2, Section I of the URRT are based on the AV Calculator. To the extent a component of the benefit design was not accommodated by an available input within the AV Calculator, the benefit characteristic was adjusted to be actuarially equivalent to an available input within the AV Calculator for purposes of utilizing the AV Calculator as the basis for the AV Metal Values. When applicable, benefits for plans that are not compatible with the parameters of the AV Calculator have been separately identified and documented in the Unique Plan Design Supporting Documentation and Justification that supports the Plan & Benefits Template.

    20. Actuarial Value Pricing Values

    The Actuarial Value (AV) Pricing Values for each plan are reported in Worksheet 2, Section I of the URRT. The AV Pricing Value represents the cumulative effect of adjustments made to move from the Market Adjusted Index Rate to the Plan Adjusted Index Rate. Consistent with final Market Rules, utilization adjustments are made to account for member behavior variations based upon cost-share variations of the benefit design and not the health status of the member. The plan level allowable modifiers to the Index Rate are included in Exhibit K and described in Section 16 above.

    21. Membership Projections

    Membership projections are reported in Worksheet 2, Section IV of the URRT. They are based on historical and current enrollment, and expected new sales and lapses.

    18. Consumer Adjusted Premium Rate Development

    The Consumer Adjusted Premium Rate is calculated by calibrating the Plan Adjusted Index Rate by the Age and Geographic calibration factors described above, and applying consumer specific age and geographic rating factors. Exhibit O has the sample rate calculations.

    Small Group Plan Premium Rates

    For Small Group, the Plan Adjusted Index Rate reflects the member weighted average premium over the calendar year. As such, the Consumer Adjusted Premium Rate column in Exhibit K has been adjusted by the member weighted quarterly premium trend to reflect the July 2017 rates.

  • 26. Effective Rate Review Information

    The RBC Ratio for Anthem Health Plans, Inc. is 572.85% as of 12/31/2015.

    Current capital and surplus for Anthem Health Plans, Inc. is $284,114,721 as shown on page 5, line 49 of the 2015 Annual Statement.

    25. Tiered-Network Benefit Plans

    The 2017 Small Group plan portfolio contains four plans with tiered in-network benefits. These plans have up to three networks of provider care and different cost share provisions for each network:

    The Tier 1 network is a subset of preferred in-network providers; members have the lowest cost share amounts when utilizing this preferred network.

    The Tier 2 network is comprised of the remaining in-network providers and has higher cost share amounts compared to the Tier 1 network.

    For tiered PPO plans, the Tier 3 network is comprised of the out-of-network providers and has the highest cost share amounts.

    Additional cost of care savings are expected from increased utilization of Tier 1 providers. These savings are used to reduce the tiered plan rate compared to a non-tiered plan with similar cost share provisions.

    22. Terminated Plans and Products

    Exhibit P provides a listing of 2015 and 2016 plans that will be terminated prior to January 1, 2017. The mapping of terminated plans to the new plans is also included. The same plans continue to be offered for July 1, 2017 as were offered beginning January 1, 2017.

    23. Plan Type

    The plan type for each plan reported in Worksheet 2, Section I of the URRT is consistent with the option chosen from the drop-down box.

    24. Warning Alerts

    There is a warning alert in cell A83 on Worksheet 2, Section IV of the Unified Rate Review Template. This is because the Small Group Plan Adjusted Index Rates reflect the member weighted average of the rates for all effective dates in the filing, whereas the Worksheet 1 Single Risk Pool Gross Premium Avg. Rate reflects the effective date of the change in the Index Rate.

  • The Annual Certification for substituting non-dollar limits on an essential health benefit can be found in Exhibit T.

    Appendix A in conjunction with Exhibit A show a summary of the requested rate changes.

    28. Reliance

    In support of this rate development, various data and analyses were provided by other members of Anthems actuarial staff, including data and analysis related to cost of care, valuation, and pricing. I have reviewed the data and analyses for reasonableness and consistency. I have relied on Wakely Consulting to provide the actuarial certification for the Unique Plan Design Supporting Documentation for the On Exchange Standard plans required by the Connecticut state exchange. I have also relied on Michele Archer, FSA, MAAA to provide the actuarial certification for the Unique Plan Design Supporting Documentation and Justification for plans included in this filing.

    Exhibit Q details Anthem's unit cost trend, utilization trend, technology trend, and other trend components.

    Benefit buy-down analysis and impact on trend: No explicit buy-down impact was used in the rate development.

    Bulletin HC-102 removed the age limit on hearing aid benefits. The expected cost of this change is an additional $0.34 claims PMPM during the 2017 rating period, which is not included in the 2015 experience period. The $0.34 PMPM represents 75% of the expected $0.45 impact of the Oct15 benefit mandate that removed age limits on hearing aids, which was included in the approved 2016 rate filing.

    Bulletin HB-5233 requires health insurance coverage for mammograms provided by breast tomosynthesis. Anthem considers this coverage as a new mandate for 2017. The expected cost of this coverage has been considered but no adjustment to the rates has been made to cover the expected increase in cost at this time.

    Bulletin HC-104 removed the age limit on infertility benefits. The expected cost of this change is an additional $0.25 claims PMPM during the 2017 rating period, which is not included in the 2015 experience period. The $0.25 represents 100% of the expected impact of the Jan16 benefit mandate that removed age limits on infertility benefits, which was included in the approved 2016 rate filing.

    Exhibit R shows the claim lag triangle for the experience data.

    27. State Actuarial Memorandum Requirements

    Supplemental material to satisfy the 2017 filing requirement notices issued on March 7, 2016 is included below.

    The proposed retention charge in the rate development is 22.6%. This is comprised of both fixed and variable expenses and includes selling expense, administrative expense, federal fees, federal income tax, ACA fees, exchange fees and risk and net profit margin. The December 31, 2015 Annual Statement for Anthem Health Plans, Inc. has a retention amount of 22.4%. This amount is calculated from the Analysis of Operations by Lines of Business exhibit on page 7: 1 [line 17, column 2 $791,038,042 / line 7, column 2 $1,018,886,075] = 22.4%.

  • February 21, 2017Date

    (5) The most recent AV Calculator was used to determine the AV Metal Values shown in Worksheet 2 of the Part I Unified Rate Review Template for all plans.

    The Part I Unified Rate Review Template does not demonstrate the process used by the issuer to develop the rates. Rather it represents information required by Federal regulation to be provided in support of the review of rate changes, for certification of Qualified Health Plans for Federally-Facilitated Exchanges, and for certification that the Index Rate is developed in accordance with Federal regulation, used consistently, and only adjusted by the allowable modifiers. However, this Actuarial Memorandum does accurately describe the process used by the issuer to develop the rates.

    Tu Nguyen, FSA, MAAADirector & Actuary III

    (1) The projected Index Rate is:

    In compliance with all applicable state and Federal statutes and regulations (45 CFR 156.80 and 147.102)

    Not excessive nor deficient

    (2) The Index Rate and only the allowable modifiers as described in 45 CFR 156.80(d)(1) and 156.80(d)(2) were used to generate plan level rates.

    (3) The percent of total premium that represents essential health benefits included in Worksheet 2, Sections III and IV of the Part I Unified Rate Review Template is calculated in accordance with Actuarial Standards of Practice.

    (4) The geographic rating factors reflect only differences in the costs of delivery (which can include unit cost and provider practice pattern differences) and do not include differences for population morbidity by geographic area.

    29. Actuarial Certification

    I, Tu Nguyen, FSA, MAAA, am an actuary for Anthem. I am a member of the American Academy of Actuaries and a Fellow of the Society of Actuaries.

    {3} This is the amount of 2017 pharmacy claims that are attributable to PBM Administrative Expenses (i.e. the "retail spread" or "pharmacy claims margin"). It is calculated by applying the 3rd party margin percentage to the 2017 projected Pharmacy claims including projected rebates.

    {4} The above calculation is purely an estimate and not meant to be compared to the minimum MLR benchmark for federal/state MLR rebate purposes:

    * The above calculation represents only the products in this filing. Federal MLR will be calculated at the legal entity and market level.

    * Not all numerator/denominator components are captured above (for example, fraud and prevention program costs, payroll taxes, assessments for state high risk pools etc.).

    * Other adjustments may also be applied within the federal MLR calculation such as 3-year averaging, new business, credibility, deductible and dual option. These are ignored in the above calculation.
