Unresolved Group Issues Definition of New Business Where do you put PADs on new LTD claims? Would you split PADs on expected claims from those on claims which are not expected? Are profit loads in premiums part of renewal profits? How do you decide what % of premium is for profit and what for claims? If you negotiate a renewal rate would such adjustment apply equally to premium load as to portion of premiums for claims & expenses? Do ASO & refund cases only generate expense gains or is there a portion for profit? Pricing or valuation bases?
