DescThe Association was created for the purpose of providing a reinsurance program for the higher risk segment of Maine's individual health insurance market in order to reduce insurance costs in that market and assure availability of affordable health insurance to residents of the State of Maine by providing reinsurance of a significant portion of the coverage provided through individual health insurance policies offered by its Member Insurers. In the normal course of business, the Member Insurers seek to limit their exposure to loss on any single insured and to recover a portion of losses paid by ceding reinsurance to the Association. In 2021 and 2022, the Association covered losses at 90% of claims paid at $65,000 of loss, and at 100% of claims paid in excess of $95,000 of loss, net of amounts (Continued on Sch O)(Continued from Page 2) recoverable from a federal highcost risk pool. In 2023, the Association covered 100% of claims paid in excess of $90,000 (up to $275,000).The Association officially commenced operations on January 1, 2012. Premium collections and claims processing began on July 1, 2012. The Association suspended its operations effective January 1, 2014, and the final assessment was assessed in October of 2013. The Association reinitiated its reinsurance program effective January 1, 2019, in accordance with its Amended and Restated Plan of Operation dated January 1, 2019, approved by the Maine Bureau of Insurance in late December 2018. The Association amended its reinsurance program effective January 1, 2022, in accordance with its Amended and Restated Plan of Operation dated January 1, 2022, approved by the Maine Bureau of Insurance, to shift from a prospective to a retrospective model. Effective January 1, 2023, the Plan of Operations was amended and restated for the Association's program to be extended to a merged Individual Market and Small Group Market, referred to as the "Pooled Market". This extended the Association's coverage to small group health plans as well as individual health insurance plans.Desc
