10 Background Study of wage level differences by class reviewed at 12/6/16 meeting Both wage inflation & impact of minimum wage laws can vary by industry Staff recommended adjustment to reported payroll & indemnity losses to reflect these differences on a relative basis Recommended enhancements adopted by Committee at 12/6/16 meeting Enhancements reflected in 2018 relativities adopted by C&R Committee at 6/1/17 meeting 10

11 Adjustment for Wage Level Differences Adjust each class s exposure for relative wage level changes through the projected year (i.e., PY 2018) Includes wage inflation and minimum wage changes Class wage factor = Class wage change / Overall wage change No change in total payroll level Indemnity benefits also on-leveled for relative wage level changes by class Impact mitigated by indemnity benefit min and max 11

12 Impact of Payroll Adjustment on Relativity Changes 250 Distribution of Classifications by Change in Relativity Payroll-Adjusted vs. Unadjusted Below -10% -10% to -5% -5% to -3% -3% to -1% -1% to 1% 1% to 3% 3% to 5% 5% to 10% Above 10% 12

15 W o r k e r s C o m p e n s a t i o n I n s u r a n c e R a t i n g B u r e a u o f C a l i f o r n i a Study of Claim Settlement Rate Adjustments to Loss Development WCIRB Actuarial Committee Meeting June 16, 2017

16 Background Recent claim settlement rates accelerating significantly Study of Berquist-Sherman approach to adjust for settlement rate change reviewed by Committee at 3/21/17 meeting Approach generally improved accuracy of projection during periods of significant settlement rate change Assumptions of current approach reviewed & validated Adjustment recommended by Committee in 7/1/17 Filing projection Staff to perform follow-up analysis of issues raised at 3/21/17 meeting Impact of changes in settlement rates by injury type Impact on tail development Sensitivity testing of imputed severities used in current approach 16

17 Impact of Changes in Claim Settlement Rates by Injury Type Background Prior periods of claim settlement change affected Temporary and PD claims consistently Current period shows PD claim settlement rates increasing while Temp rates mostly flat Majority of late-term development is on PD claims Currently, all indemnity types are adjusted in aggregate which may understate impact of adjustment 17

18 Impact of Changes in Claim Settlement Rates by Injury Type Approach The claim settlement adjustment method by injury type only adjusts the injury types with a claim settlement distortion Adjusted PD losses for increasing claim settlement rates No adjustment to Temp claims since settlement rates are flat Validated that current assumptions may be applied to the claim settlement adjustment method by injury type Claim development selected factor Log-linear adjustment on closed claims Similar adjustment on open claims 18

19 Projected Paid Loss Development Factors from 1 st to 6 th Report 5.0 Unadjusted Combined (Adjusted Agg. USR) Injury Type Partial Adj. by IT Paid Indemnity Paid Medical 19

20 Impact of Changes in Claim Settlement Rates by Injury Type Summary The claim settlement adjustment by injury type did not significantly improve results from the current claim settlement method The increase in adjustment to PD losses is offset by not adjusting Temp losses (compared to the combined approach) 33% of claims at 1 st report level and 51% of claims at 6 th report level are PD A larger adjustment is applied to fewer claims Staff does not recommend any refinement to the current approach to address differences in claim settlement rate changes by injury type 20

21 Impact on Tail Development Current adjustment for changes in settlement rates only adjusts the direct periods of change Changing settlement trends could significantly impact the loss development tail Extreme example: Settlement rates change from 90% to 100% no tail factor needed! Staff reviewed change in paid loss development following periods of significant settlement rate change for possible statistical relationship Method 1 Compare difference in projected CY development to actual AY development with change in settlement rates Method 2 Compare change in AY to AY development with change in settlement rates 21

22 Comparison of Change in Settlement Rate to Change in Paid Medical Development % Change in Claim Settlement Rate Difference in Projected CY Development from Actual - 24 to 84 Months Difference in Projected CY Development from Actual - 84 to 228 Months 10.0 Change in AY to AY Development - 24 to 84 Months Change in AY to AY Development - 84 to 228 Months AY Mos.

26 Sensitivity Testing of Imputed Severities Used in Current Approach Assumptions of imputed severities used in current approach Paid on closed claims log-linear interpolation between unadjusted paid per closed claim using settlement rate Paid on open claims average paid per open claim at prior/current maturity extends for another year Actual payments on closing or remaining open claims identified from tracked USR data Assumptions tested by replacing imputed severities with those from tracked data 26

69 Update on Medical Cost Trends Payment Data through 12/31/16 Payments per claim for all medical services increased 1% in the first half of 2016 then decreased 2% in the second half of 2016 Pharmacy cost share nearly halved from 15% to 8% Medical legal cost share increased from 9% to 14% Pharmaceutical payments per claim declined significantly in both halves of 2016: 21% & 26% continuing sharp downward trend - MediCal fee changes that incorporated the Average Federal Upper Limit - Decreased opioid prescribing - Independent medical review - Reduced physician prescribing - Fewer spinal implant surgeries - Fraud indictments Payments per claim for physical therapy up significantly - Potential substitute for pharmaceuticals Reduced inpatient costs with increasing outpatient costs 65
