11 Experience Rating Plan Changes Effective January 1, 2016 Eligibility based on expected loss rates rather than advisory pure premium rates #IRMI2016 What is Experience Rating? Experience rating is a merit rating system that benchmarks an employer against others in its industry based on historical claim experience Provides a direct financial incentive for employers to reduce accidents Intended to equitably distribute cost of workers compensation among employers in an industry Approximately 20% of employers (more than 100,000) are experience rated, representing almost 90% of premium Most small employers do not qualify since their claims experience is not typically predictive of future losses 18 11
12 Experience Rating Issues Late issuance of January experience modifications $7,000 split point not adjusted since 2010 Large impact of a single claim on smaller employers One size fits all approach may not be appropriate Complexity of the formula 19 Limited Experience Modifications Effective 2015, when an employer only has a single claim in the calculation, the experience modification is limited to no more than 25 percentage points above the loss free rating
13 Eligibility for Experience Rating Effective January 1, 2016, the Experience Rating Plan uses expected loss rates rather than advisory pure premium rates to determine eligibility for an experience modification. This allows the WCIRB to begin issuing January 2016 experience modifications months sooner than previously possible. 21 The Experience Period 01/01/11 01/01/12 01/01/13 01/01/14 01/01/15 01/01/16 01/01/17 Policy Period Current Policy Policy Period NOT USED Policy Period NOT USED Policy Period 3rd USR Valued July nd USR Valued July st USR Valued July 2015 Policy Period Policy Period 04/01/11 04/01/14 EXPERIENCE PERIOD January 1, 2016 ARD 22 13
14 14 Experience Rating Eligibility Threshold $16,700 $23,300 $25,225 $27,500 $30,300 $31,700 $28,461 $10,300 $0 $5,000 $10,000 $15,000 $20,000 $25,000 $30,000 $35,000 Jan 2011 Jan 2012 July 2012 Jan 2013 Jan 2014 Jan 2015 July 2015 Jan Expected Loss Rates vs. Pure Premium Rates Expected loss rates reflect average losses by classification for the experience period. For 2016, expected loss rates reflect average losses estimated by classification for 2014 policies (valued at 18 months) 2013 policies (valued at 30 months) 2012 policies (valued at 42 months) Expected loss rates reflect a maximum loss value of $175,000. Pure premium rates reflect rates sufficient to cover all losses to ultimate closure, which may be 50 years or longer, and include allocated loss adjustment expenses. 24
15 Eligibility Example Libbes Rubber Belt Company started business in 2012 Classification 4410, Rubber Goods Mfg N.O.C Expected Loss Rate = $3.23 per $100 of payroll Table of Expected Loss Rates and D-ratios Code No. Expected Loss Rate* D-Ratio Available at > Publications and Filings > Manuals and Plans 25 Eligibility Example Policy Period Class Code Reported Payroll 2016 Expected Loss Rate Totals 1/1/14 1/1/ ( ) 300, $9,690 1/1/13 1/1/ ( ) 200, $6,460 1/1/12 1/1/ ( ) 100, $3,230 Total Eligibility Premium $19,380 The 2016 eligibility threshold is $10,300, so this employer qualifies to be experience rated
16 Lets Test Your Knowledge Approximately how many California employers are large enough to qualify for an experience modification? a. 500 b. 10,000 c. 100,000 d. 500,000 True or False: A new employer may qualify for experience rating within the first year of business. What is the purpose of the 2016 eligibility change? a) To increase the number of experience rated employers b) To decrease the number of experience rated employers c) To expedite the issuance of January experience modifications 27 Experience Rating Plan Changes Effective January 1, 2017 The Impact of Unaudited Payroll on Experience Rating Eligibility 2017 Debit Experience Modifications that Exclude Unaudited Payroll #IRMI
17 Unaudited Payroll Experience Rating Plan directs not to use unaudited payroll in experience modifications When insurer reports that a policyholder has not cooperated with the audit, the WCIRB sends a letter to the policyholder Explanation of experience rating and the impact on insurance premium due to an incomplete audit Urges policyholder to contact the insurer to schedule an audit If audited exposure is not received within 60 days, the WCIRB will attempt to promulgate an experience modification using any reported losses but excluding the unaudited payroll 29 Experience Modification Calculation Example Excluding Unaudited Payroll Policy Period Payroll Expected Losses # Claims Actual Losses 2/1/2014 2/1/2015 $ ,973 2/1/2013 2/1/2014 $1,151,685 41, /1/2012 2/1/2013 $1,057,068 36, ,515 Totals $2,208,753 78, ,488 Experience Modification = 103% 30 17
18 Experience Modification Calculation Example With Audited Payroll Policy Period Payroll Expected Losses # Claims Actual Losses 2/1/2014 2/1/2015 $1,371,629 49, ,973 2/1/2013 2/1/2014 $1,151,685 41, /1/2012 2/1/2013 $1,057,068 36, ,515 Totals $3,580, , ,488 Experience Modification = 86% 31 Eligibility for Experience Rating Current Impact of Unaudited Payroll on Eligibility Policy Period Class Code Reported Payroll 2016 Expected Loss Rate 1/1/14 1/1/ ( ) $0 Totals 1/1/13 1/1/ ( ) 200, $6,460 1/1/12 1/1/ ( ) 100, $3,230 Total Eligibility Premium $9,690 The 2016 eligibility threshold is $10,300, so this employer does not qualify to be experience rated
19 Impact of Unaudited Payroll on Eligibility Change Effective January 1, 2017 For 2017, the Experience Rating Plan permits debit experience modifications (>100%) to be issued that would otherwise be ineligible for experience rating due to unaudited payroll When the exclusion of estimated payroll results in not meeting the eligibility threshold, an experience modification will be published if: The policyholder was experience rated in the immediately preceding year, and The experience modification is over 100% 33 Experience Modifications that Exclude Unaudited Payroll The Experience Rating Form (ratesheet) will contain a designation that the calculation excludes unaudited payroll data A letter is sent to the policyholder advising that the experience modification excludes the estimated payroll but includes any losses 34 19
20 Revision of Experience Modifications that Exclude Unaudited Payroll If the WCIRB subsequently receives a USR correction with audited exposure, the current and two immediately preceding experience ratings are subject to revision In accordance with the Experience Rating Plan, Section V, Rule 6, Experience Modification Corrections Effective Dates 35 Experience Rating Plan Changes Effective January 1, Split Point that Varies Based on the Size of the Employer #IRMI
21 Californias Variable Split Point Experience Rating Plan The 2017 Experience Rating Plan replaces the fixed $7,000 primary and excess loss split point with a variable split point that changes based on the size of the employer Enhances the accuracy of the experience rating formula, especially for smaller employers Reduces volatility Provides flexibility for simplifying the experience rating formula in future years 37 What is a Split Point? The split point is used to divide claims into a primary amount and an excess amount Primary losses represent the more predictive and controllable portion of a claim, which is used in entirety in the experience modification formula Excess losses represent the less controllable portion, which is used to a lesser extent, or not at all, depending on the size of the employer Places greater weight on the frequency of claims rather than severity of claims, as generally, an employer has some control over the frequency of claims, but little control over the ultimate cost of claims 38 21
22 Actual Losses on the Rate Sheet 39 Development of the Variable Split Plan 2007 Early WCIRB research showed the optimal split point varied with the size of the employer 2013 WCIRB research based on policy year 2010 found that variable split plan would enhance experience rating accuracy 2014 Research based on policy year 2011 confirmed potential to enhance experience rating by varying primary/excess split point by size of employer 2014 Feedback solicited from representatives of employers, workers, insurers and producers 2015 Variable split plan reviewed and recommended by WCIRB committees September 2015 Insurance Commissioner approved variable split plan to be effective January 1,
23 How Many Split Points Will There Be? Approximately 90 Primary Threshold split points Values range from $4,500 to $75,000 Ranges based on employers total expected losses in the experience period Final values will be proposed to Insurance Commissioner in 2016 WCIRB Regulatory Filing NOTE: Table is for explanatory purposes only, and the values are not final. 41 Impacts of Transitioning to a Variable Split Plan No overall pure premium impact and no impact on average modification Net movements of mods above/below key thresholds (e.g. credit/debit, 125%, 200%) generally expected to be < 1% Generally, the variable split plan places greater emphasis on claim frequency and less emphasis on the severity of claims Employers with high claim frequency relative to their peers will generally have higher experience modifications Employers with very large shock losses will generally have lower modifications under the variable split plan 42 23
24 Distribution of Expected Modification Changes from Transitioning to the Variable Split Plan 30% Current $7,000 Fixed Split to Variable Split 25% Percent of Employers 20% 15% 10% 5% 0% < > Percentage Change in Modification 43 Example X Mods for Employer with 2011 Written Premium of $25,000 Variable Split: $11, % 140% 120% Current $7,000 Split Plan 111% Variable Split Plan 141% 119% 119% 100% 80% 74% 72% 60% 40% 20% 0% Claim-Free Five $500 Claims & $25,000 Claim Five $500 Claims & $150,000 Claim 44 24
25 The Experience Modification Formula Current Formula: Ap = Actual Primary Losses Ae = Actual Excess Losses Cp = Credibility Primary Value Ce = Credibility Excess Value Ep = Expected Primary losses Ee = Expected Excess Losses *Current variable split indications are for 100% primary credibility (Cp) and E = Expected losses 0% excess credibility (Ce). 45 Potential to Simplify the Formula Variable split plan indications are for 100% primary credibility (Cp) and 0% excess credibility (Ce). Potential future simplification of the formula: Ap = Actual Primary Losses Ee = Expected Excess Losses E = Expected losses 46 25
26 2017 Changes to Experience Rating Summary of Differences Current Fixed Split Plan 2017 Variable Split Plan One split point for all sizes of employers Split point varies based on the size of the employer (total expected losses) Split point = $7,000 Split points from $4,500 to $75,000 1 split point + 1 table of D-Ratio values for each classification code Large impact of a single claim on smaller employers Weight given to claims in excess of $7,000 ranges from 0.00 to 0.78 Complicated formula Claim frequency is weighted more heavily than claim severity Approximately 90 split points, each with a unique table of D-Ratio values Impact of large shock loss is generally reduced No weight given to claims in excess of the variable split point Potential to simplify formula Even more weight given to claim frequency and less to claim severity Changes to Experience Rating What to Expect this Year Feb 25 Mod Talks #1 April 7 Mod Talks #2 May 26 Mod Talks #3 June Proposed 2017 rating values X-Mod Calculator July 28 Mod Talks #4 September Earliest issuance of January 2017 mods Sep 29 Mod Talks #5 Nov 17 Mod Talks #
