PURPOSE OF OLIVER WYMAN’S INITIAL STUDY• Estimation of countrywide and state-specific trends separately for claim costs, severity, and frequency.
• Estimation of countrywide and state-specific claim costs.
• Examination of the relationship between indemnity costs compared to expense costs.
• Review of the accident year by report year relationship.
• Analysis of the cause of loss descriptions.
FUTURE ENHANCEMENTS• Analysis of the relationship of a 5-star CMS Rating and claim costs and trends.
• Examination of the effect of arbitration agreements on settlement values.
• Review of the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Our analysis is based on data through December 31, 2019, andtherefore, does not consider the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic

DATABASE AND COLLECTION METHODOLOGY
– Results found in this study are based on calculations of participant provided data.
– Claims with payments less than $500 were excluded to remove any bias from nuisance claims.
– Claims are limited to $1 million per occurrence to limit the impact of large claims on the results.
– Focus of this analysis was on closed claims data. By examining paid indemnity and expense we eliminated the need to develop open claims and eliminated the differences in reserving practices between participants.

• Loss rate is the cost to pay indemnity or expense per occupied bed.

• MMC continues to lead discussion within the insurance industry and continues to develop consensus around a path forward and a defined role for insurance in a pandemic risk solution. Carriers such as Zurich, Farmers and Chubb have been public about supporting a solution that includes a role for private market capital.
• There is a burgeoning policyholder coalition called the Business Continuity Coalition, that has become increasingly vocal about the need for a forward looking pandemic solution. They are engaging with policymakers on Capitol Hill, and providing feedback on the Pandemic Risk Insurance Act, which will likely be introduced during the first half of the year. The coalition represents a broad range of business insurance policyholders – large and small – from across the American economy, employing millions of people. They sent a letter to Senate leadership earlier this year urging them to act on a pandemic solution.
• Renewed momentum on a pandemic solution is also supported by the new Chairman of Insurance Subcommittee Congressman Emmanuel Cleaver (Democrat- Missouri) - Cleaver notes that a pandemic risk solution is a top priority for his Committee.
• MMC has led the industry discussions on this issue since last March, and we’ve engaged the carrier trades throughout this process. Our ultimate goal is to advance a solution that aligns the needs of policyholders with our carrier partners. We are open to a number of solutions, including a tiered approach that envisions a fully government role for lower limits with a layered private capital solution for larger and more complicated risks.
