Nature of Long Term Care Insurance
Nature of LTC Insurance Overview ▪ Complex models ▪ Multiple assumptions ▪ Very long term product ▪ Large reserves built up ▪ Capital intensive 30 35 40 45 50 55 60 65 70 75 80 85 90 95 100 105 110 For a cohort of policyholders, reserves build over time until claims start being paid at the older ages and reserves start as policyholders start to leave the books. 7
LTC Modelling ▪ Multi-state model: movement of lives between healthy, disabled state and dead/terminated states Multi-State Model Healthy - (Total Death – Disabled Death) + Healthy - (Total Death – Disabled Death) + Healthy Recovery – Newly Disabled - Lapse Recovery – Newly Disabled - Lapse Disabled Incidence Incidence Incidence Recovery Recovery Recovery Dead / Dead / Dead / Terminated Terminated Terminated Disabled + Newly Disabled – Disabled Disabled + Newly Disabled – Disabled Death – Recovery - Terminated Death – Recovery - Terminated Total - Total Death – Lapse - Terminated Total - Total Death – Lapse - Terminated Total In-force In-force In-force Year 1 Year 2 8
Key Assumptions Disabled Lives Mortality ▪ Active lives mortality: vary by age and policy 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 duration Claim Duration ▪ Disabled lives mortality: vary by disabled age and Disabled Age 40 Disabled Age 60 Disabled Age 70 Disabled Age 80 claim duration Active Lives Mortality ▪ Mortality improvement ▪ Morbidity ▪ Morbidity improvement ▪ Recovery ▪ Lapse ▪ Investment return ▪ Cost of care (if in-kind benefit) ▪ Wage (if benefit is indexed to wages) 40 42 44 46 48 50 52 54 56 58 Attained Age Year 2002-2006 Year 2007-2011 Year 2012-2016 9

Product Considerations
Product Design Premiums ▪ Non-guaranteed Key Principals ▪ Guaranteed with profit-share ▪ Level vs indexed Benefits ▪ Duration of premium payment ▪ Benefit eligibility ▪ 2ADLs vs 3ADLs ▪ with dementia vs without dementia ▪ Cash benefit vs. reimbursement of expenses ▪ Fixed cash benefit vs. indexed ▪ Cost sharing on reimbursement of expenses ▪ Benefit duration - fixed periods (e.g. 5 years, 10 years) vs lifetime ▪ Elimination period ▪ Hybrid LTC/accelerated death benefit: riders to life insurance 12
What’s Happening in the US (1) ▪ Premium rate increases due to underpricing before 2000s, i.e. underestimating assumptions such as lapse and life expectancies, and overestimating interest rates Rate Increases in the US Average Approved Rate Increase 5% - 9% 6% 10% - 19% 29% 31% 20% - 29% 30% - 39% 9% 40% - 49% 14% 50% - 59% 3% 60% + 9% 15% 20% 25% 30% 35% 0% 5% 10% Percentage of Responses 13
What’s Happening in the US (2) ▪ Reduced benefit option (RBO) to prevent significant premium rate increases ▪ Daily benefit reduction ▪ Reduce/eliminate inflation protection ▪ Benefit period reduction ▪ Eliminate optional riders ▪ Elimination period lengthening ▪ Coinsurance ▪ Inclusion of wellness programs in LTC policies (regulation-making stage): LTC insurers see some value in approaching policyholders prior to catastrophic need ▪ Strategy: Improve customer health; provide equipment, devices or other services ▪ Goal: to delay or prevent catastrophic LTC ▪ Approach: 1) Claims management for active claims 2) Pre-claim population management ▪ Model: a near-term LTC model instead of a long-term one used for pricing/reserving ▪ Predict if an individual will have a claim in the near future (e.g.,12 to 24 mths) ▪ Predictive factors: age, sex, current marital status, socio-economic status, health status, access to health and services, family / friend / community social networks, and others 14
