This document contains information that consists of confidential, proprietary trade secrets under state and federal law. Under
federal law, this information is exempt from disclosure under Exemption 4 of the U.S. Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C. 552, is a
trade secret or confidential commercial or financial information as defined in 45 CFR 5.65, and protected from disclosure under 45
CFR 5.1 5.69, and 45 CFR 154.215 (i)(2). Under state law, this information is strictly confidential and protected from disclosure
by R.S.Mo. 374.01, 417.450 et seq. and 20 CSR 10-2.400. It may not be disclosed to any other person, including state or federal

reflect the addition of referral requirements, changes in the preferred drug list, and having no out-ofnetwork benefits, except for emergency services, in our individual product.
5. Network Adjustments
The affiliated carriers small group portfolio includes POS experience. The individual plans included in this
filing are EPO plans, so adjustments were made to account for a narrower network on the individual
product.
6. Demographic Adjustment
We anticipate our individual exchange business to have a different age/gender composition compared to
that of the affiliated small group carriers business. Therefore, an adjustment was made to the manual rate
development to account for the difference in demographic mix.
Credibility of Experience
All Savers Insurance Company has no existing individual market business in Missouri, so zero credibility is applied to
the base period experience. We believe the affiliated small group experience used for developing the manual rates
to be fully credible. A specific credibility formula was not used for this determination, but rather informed actuarial
judgment. As ASOP 25, section 3.4 states: Professional Judgment The actuary should use professional judgment
when selecting, developing, or using a credibility procedure. The use of credibility procedures is not always a precise
mathematical process.
Paid-to-Allowed Ratio
A paid-to-allowed ratio was estimated for each plan by trending an affiliated carriers small group claims experience
to 2015 and accounting for the variation in cost-sharing parameters. These ratios were weighted by the projected
membership per plan to calculate the average paid-to-allowed factor shown in Worksheet 1 of the Unified Rate
Review Template.
Risk Adjustment and Reinsurance
Projected Risk Adjustments Net of Risk Adjustment User Fees
We are assuming zero net payments for risk adjustments. The HHS Notice of Benefit and Payment Parameters for
2015 specifies a risk adjustment user fee of $0.08 PMPM.
Projected ACA Reinsurance Recoveries Net of Reinsurance Premium
Reinsurance recoveries are expected to be 7.9% of incurred claims. This amount was derived using nationwide
experience from an affiliated carrier trended to 2015. The recoveries were then calculated using the 2015
reinsurance parameters, as published in the HHS Notice of Benefit and Payment Parameters for 2015. The HHS
Notice of Benefit and Payment Parameters for 2015 specifies a reinsurance premium of $3.67 PMPM.
Non-Benefit Expenses and Profit
Administrative Expense Load
The 10.96% administrative expense load includes: commissions, credit card fees, quality improvements, and SG&A.
1. Commissions: We anticipate an average commission rate of approximately 2.02% of premium for 2015.
2. Quality Improvements: We assumed 0.90% of premium for quality improvements based on data from an
affiliated carrier.
3. SG&A: Our general and administrative expense assumption is based on experience of our affiliated small
group carriers, adjusted for inflation and expected 2015 expense levels. For this product in the state of
Missouri, this equates to approximately 8.03% of premium for 2015.

Calibration
Calibration adjustments include age and geography, and they do not vary by plan.
Age Curve Calibration
The age calibration is 1.444, which is based on an average age assumption of 45 years. The HHS unisex age factors,
included in Attachment A, were used.
Geographic Factor Calibration
The geographic factor calibration is 1.000, which is based on our expected distribution of covered individuals.
Attachment A includes the geographic factors for each of the counties in which All Savers Insurance Company
intends to market this product. Geographic factors are based on experience from an affiliated carrier and include
adjustments for differences in our provider networks.
Consumer Adjusted Premium Rate Development
The Consumer Adjusted Premium Rate is the final premium rate for each plan that is charged to an individual before
applying the rating adjustments of age, area, and tobacco status. It is developed by calibrating the plan adjusted
index rate for age and geography, and adjusting for any additional allowable rating factors specified by 45 CFR Part
147.102 (including tobacco).

users) for our expected distribution of covered individuals. See Attachment A for the tobacco factors by age.
Consumer Adjusted Premium Rates
The Consumer Adjusted Premium Rate is calculated as the Plan adjusted Index Rate divided by the product of the
calibration factors and tobacco adjustment. Results for each plan are listed below. The weighted average, based on
projected membership, is $231.06.

AV Metal Values
Our plan designs include post deductible copays in addition to per-occurrence copays paid in conjunction with
coinsurance rates. Neither of these benefit designs are directly compatible with the AV calculator. For these unique
plan designs, the alternate method described in 45 CFR 156.135(b)(2) was used for the AV calculations. Following is
a description of how the inputs for these unique benefits were modified to fit the parameters of the AV calculator.
Per-Occurrence Copays Paid in Conjunction with Coinsurance Rates
In order to modify the inputs for this type of benefit design to fit the parameters of the AV calculator, the following
formula was used to estimate the insurers cost share.
Effective Insurer Coinsurance Rate = ( 1
Member Copay
Average Unit Cost
The benefit was then marked as Subject to Deductible and Subject to Coinsurance with a Coinsurance, if
different equal to the effective insurer coinsurance rate as calculated above.
The average unit cost was calculated based on the claims data included within the AV calculator continuance tables
for each metal level. If the plan was expected to fall within a Silver Metal Tier, the average unit cost was calculated
from the Silver continuance tables. All enrollees within a continuance table were included in the calculation of the
average unit cost for each benefit type.
The calculation of the average unit cost for the Outpatient Facility Fee is the one exception to the above
methodology. Since the per-occurrence copay does not apply to all services included in the OP Facility Fee category
within the AV calculator, the continuance tables did not provide the detail necessary for this calculation. Therefore,
the average unit cost for the Outpatient Facility Fee was based on the historical experience of affiliated carriers in
addition to our proprietary pricing model.

applied to the claim distributions of the matching service category. Cost-sharing is applied, and the values of each
service category are summed to determine an overall benefit value. This overall benefit value is then compared to a
base benefit design to calculate the plan relativity. All benefit plans are priced consistently with each other, with the
rates differing only by the estimated value of the benefit differences.
In order to preserve consistency, the same claim experience and projection assumptions are applied to all plan
relativity calculations. The plan specific adjustments to the market wide index rate do not reflect differences in
health status or risk selection.
Membership Projections
Since this is a new product with no historical experience, membership was estimated based on informed judgment.
Terminated Products
No products are being terminated at this time. All Savers Insurance Company has no existing individual market
business.
Plan Type
A plan type of EPO has been selected for each plan, which describes the plans exactly.
Warning Alerts
There are no Warning Alerts in Worksheet 2 of the Unified Rate Review Template.
Reliance
Due to responsibility allocation, I relied on other UnitedHealthcare actuaries that have responsibility for small group
rate development to provide the affiliated carrier experience data and rate development procedure for the small
group rates.

Actuarial Certification
I, James M. Shallow, am an Associate Director of Actuarial Services for United Healthcare's Individual Line of
Business, which includes All Savers Insurance Companys health insurance products marketed to individuals. I am a
member of the American Academy of Actuaries, and I meet the Academy's qualification standards for rendering
statements of actuarial opinion, with respect to the filing of rates for health insurance products.
To the best of my knowledge and judgment:
The projected index rate is in compliance with all applicable state and federal statutes and regulations, and it
was developed in compliance with the applicable Actuarial Standards of Practice.
The benefits are reasonable in relation to the premiums charged and the population anticipated to be covered.
In addition, premiums are not inadequate, excessive, or unfairly discriminatory.
Only the allowable modifiers were used to generate plan level rates.
The percent of total premium that represents essential health benefits included in Worksheet 2, Sections III and
IV were calculated in accordance with actuarial standards of practice.
The AV calculator was used to determine the AV metal values shown in Worksheet 2 of the Unified Rate Review
Template. The alternate method described in 45 CFR 156.135(b)(2) was used to fit the parameters of the AV
calculator.
The Unified Rate Review Template does not demonstrate the process used by the issuer to develop the rates.
Rather, it represents information required by federal regulation to be provided in support of the review of rate
increases, for certification of qualified health plans for federally facilitated exchanges, and for certification that
the index rate is developed in accordance with federal regulation and used consistently and only adjusted by the
allowable modifiers.
