2011 Financial Results for Health Insurance Companies in Maine
(Detailed version)

The following tables show Maine data reported by leading health insurers and health maintenance organizations (HMOs) that provide medical expense insurance in Maine. Data is shown separately for each of three market segments: large group (employers with more than 50 employees), small group (employers with 50 or fewer employees), and individual (people who are not covered by an employer plan and buy coverage directly). Grand totals are shown for each market segment. The data does not include stop loss, accidental injury, specified disease, hospital indemnity, Medicare Supplement, disability income, long-term care or other limited benefit coverage. In some cases, companies in the same group are presented together in one table. The “All Other Companies” table for each market segment provides aggregate data for companies with less than $2 million in direct written medical expense premium in the State of Maine. These “All Other Companies” tables do not include enrollment and per member per month data because these companies are not required to report it. While the Bureau checks this data for consistency with other reported information, we cannot vouch for the accuracy of the data.

Here is a list of the items contained in the tables below along with a description of the items:

(1) Number of Covered Lives, Dec. 31: This is the number of people (including dependents) who were covered as of the end of the year.

(2) Member Months during Year: This the sum of the number of people covered during each month during the year. One person covered for the whole year represents 12 member months.

(3) Number of Contracts issued in 2011: This is the number of individual or group policies issued during the year and still in force at the end of the year.

(4) Number of contracts issued in 2011 covering policyholders who were uninsured for the prior 90 days: This is the number of individual policies issued to previously uninsured individuals and the number issued to small groups that did not have a previous health plan in the prior 90 days. Some carriers were unable to report this data.

(5) Premiums Earned: This is the amount paid for coverage during the year regardless of when it was paid. For example, premiums paid in December 2010 for coverage in January 2011 are included in 2011 premiums earned but premiums paid in December 2011 for coverage in January 2012 are not included.

(6) Claims Incurred: This is the amount paid for medical services provided during the year regardless of when it was paid. For example, claims paid in January 2010 for services provided in December 2010 are included in 2010 claims incurred but claims paid in January 2012 for services provided in December 2011 are included in 2011 claims incurred. Claims incurred are also shown as a percentage of premium. This is commonly called the “loss ratio” and is sometimes considered a measure of how good a value is received for the premium paid. However, it can be misleading. For example, an insurer that has healthier policyholders, on average, than another insurer may have a lower loss ratio even though it may charge less for similar coverage. Also, if the volume of business is small, experience is subject to random fluctuations.

(7) Increase in Policy Reserves: Policy reserves are held when future premiums are not expected to be sufficient to cover future claims. For example, some types of insurance policies have premiums based on the age when the policy was issued. Even though claims are expected to increase as the person ages, the premiums will not reflect this, so part of the premium in the early years is held in a reserve to cover later claims. This is generally not the case for medical expense insurance and therefore policy reserves are generally not a significant item.

(8) Administrative Expenses: This includes all expenses reported on the companies’ annual financial statement other than claims. Administrative expenses include office space, salaries, utilities, postage, office supplies, commissions, marketing, advertising, cost containment expenses, lobbying expenses, taxes (other than federal income tax), and other expenses. Cost containment expenses are expenses that reduce the amount of health care services provided, including utilization review, fraud prevention and detection, provider contracting, provider network development, smoking cessation programs, disease management programs, and case management.

(9) Underwriting Gain or (Loss): This is the amount of premium left over (or the shortfall) after claims and administrative expenses are paid and any needed increase is added to policy reserves. Underwriting gain differs somewhat from “profit” in that it does not reflect certain items, primarily income from investments, capital gains and losses, and federal income taxes.

(10) Premium per Member Month: This is the average monthly premium per person. It should be noted that policies vary widely with respect to features such as deductibles, copayments, policy limits, and restricted provider networks. Therefore comparing the average premium for different companies or different market segments may be comparing “apples and oranges.” Also shown is the percentage increase (or decrease) from the prior year’s average premium. Here again, the comparison may reflect differing benefit levels. As rates increase, some employers and individuals increase their deductible or make other modifications to their policies in order to reduce the amount of the increase.

(11) Claims per Member Month: This is the average amount of monthly claims per person. Also shown is the percentage increase (or decrease) from the prior year’s average claims. The notes above concerning premium per member month apply equally here. The actual trend in health care costs may be more than the trend in claims because the claims trend may reflect a reduction in benefit levels such as an increased deductible.
