PLEASE NOTE: This methodology differs from the NAIC SHCE methodology. However,
if the issuer chose to report direct written premium in Line 1.1 on the same basis as in the
12/31 column, the issuer should report unearned premium reserves consistently with how it
reports direct written premium. Do not include any amounts collected during 2015 for
2016 ACA fees as unearned premium.
Line 1.4 – Experience rating refunds (rate credits) paid or received
1.4a – 12/31 Column – report all refunds paid or received through 12/31 of the MLR reporting

reporting year, paid or received through 3/31 of the following year.

reporting year. Experience rating refund is the return of a portion of premium pursuant
