General Requirements for Reporting Certain Types of Business
Reinsurance
Experience under a 100% assumption reinsurance agreement (with a novation) must be reported
by the assuming issuer as direct business, for the entire MLR reporting year during which the
policies are assumed and must not be reported by the ceding issuer.
Reporting of 100% indemnity reinsurance and administrative agreements is limited to those
agreements both entered into and effective prior to March 23, 2010, where the assuming entity is
responsible for 100% of the ceding entity’s financial risk and takes on all of the administration of
the block of business. Experience under those indemnity reinsurance and administrative
agreements must be reported by the assuming issuer as direct business, and must not be reported
by the ceding issuer.
