3.
The
following provision is added to the contract at Article VII, Section
7.12:
7.12
Medical
Loss Ratio Guarantee
(a)
For
each calendar quarter that this contract is in effect, effective with the
quarter beginning April 1, 2005, if the Contractor's Medical Loss Ratio (MLR)
is
less than 82%, the Department will recover by deduction from future payments
a
percentage of the quarter's premium revenue equal to the difference between
the
reported MLR and 82%.
(b)
Medical Loss Ratio shall be calculated by dividing total hospital and medical
expenses incurred in Illinois by premium revenue paid by the Department.
Premium
revenue for a quarter shall be the premium revenue accrued, including Hospital
Delivery Case Rate Payments. Expenses reported as Incurred But Not Reported
(IBNR) shall be subject to review by the Department for actuarial soundness.
All
elements of reports used to calculate MLR are subject to audit by the
Department. Audits may be ordered by the Department within
Page
8
30
days
of Departmental receipt of each quarterly report, and audits shall encompass
the
total subject matter of that report.
(c)
Hospital and medical expenses are the incurred costs of providing direct
care to
Enrollees for Covered Services. Outreach and general education are not included
in medical expenses.
(d)
At
the end of the four quarters ending March 31, 2006, the Department will review
the Contractor's MLR for the full four quarters and recover or reconcile
previous recoveries so that the Department has recovered the percentage of
the
total premium revenue for the four quarters equal to the difference between
the
cumulative MLR below 82% and 82%. Reconciliation shall consist of payment
by the
Contractor of any difference below the annualized 82% MLR not previously
deducted, or repayment to the Contractor of deductions over the annualized
82%
MLR previously made by the Department. A similar reconciliation will be
performed at the end of each four quarters or the termination of any contractual
relationship between the parties. Notwithstanding the provisions of section
7.12(b), the Department may order an audit of the reporting for the full
four
quarters within 45 days of Departmental receipt of a cumulative report of
the
four quarters.
(e)
The
Contractor shall report all information necessary to effectuate this section
in
a format and on a schedule consistent with NAIC guidelines. The Department
may
request additional supporting information necessary to effectuate this section,
and the Contractor shall report this information to the Department in a timely
manner.
(f)
For
purposes of calculating the Contractor's MLR, for the quarter beginning April
1,
2005, and for the month of July 2005, premium revenue will be adjusted to
remove
premium revenue for pharmacy services in excess of Contractor's costs for
pharmacy services.
