Corresponding Filing Tracking Number: Filing Description: update this
We enclose a final print revision to our current Pet Health program. The last program revision, with a rate impact, was filed with your department effective 6/9/2019 for new business and 7/11/2019 for renewals under MRKA-131620561.
The overall rate level change is 3.4%. Support of proposed changes is detailed in the Actuarial Memorandum and supporting exhibits. While the rates are changing, there will be no impact to the current insureds as the producer is moving to another carrier.
We include the revised pages of the Rating Manual Edition 2020-01. The following changes have been made from the previously approved rates and rules: 1 Removed program administrator from rate and rule pages 2 Add "Gender" factors 3 Update base rates 4 Update Deductible factors 5 Update Breed factors 6 Update Pet Age factors 7 Update territory factors (Me-too of APIC Trupanion program APII-131959015) 8 Update address on all exhibits from Deerfield, IL to Rosemont ,IL
This filing is a resubmission of disapproved filing MRKA-132293220. We will address the outstanding issues here. Markel's prior program administrator Figo Pet Insurance LLC,is now partnered with Independence American Insurance Company. With the transition of the prior producer to another carrier, we have removed their name from our rate pages. There will not be a new policy name, the program will remain Markel Pet Health. We are now in the process of contracting with a new program administrator; however,we are not able to disclose the prospective partner at this time. We will provide a post- approval update once we are able to communicate our future partner.
We agree that the filing must list who or what organizations will be eligible for the Strategic Partner Discount (D-7). The discount rule page D-7 specifically states that only the listed strategic partners receive the discount. The rule also specifically states: Only the partners listed above will generate this discount. Those not explicitly listed will not generate this discount. Therefore, we do not consider the rule to be subjective or unfairly discriminatory.

Objection Letter Objection Letter Status Pending Objection Letter Date 07/31/2020 Submitted Date 07/31/2020 Respond By Date 08/07/2020 Dear Karen Griglak, Introduction: This refers to your June 18, 2020 submission of the captioned filing. Reference is also made to our correspondence and your subsequent response of July 23, 2020. Based upon our Actuarial Unit review of the filing, we have the following comments:
[A] With regard to the proposed territorial rates by zip code, please add an additional page to the manual that lists all of the uniquely rated territories in column 1 (e.g. Territory 1, Territory 2, etc.) along with all of the zip codes that comprise each Territory in column 2.
[B] Notwithstanding your response to item [2] the proposed rates/factors are unacceptable as the insurer can’t price the insurance the way the company has implied. It is this Department’s position that we would not permit a company to vary the pet age factor based on when the pet was initially enrolled with the company. Accordingly, the company needs to withdraw the same in its entirety. Note that the company must properly price each age through the normal age factor, not the way they have proposed. Kindly revise.
[C] Please note that our review is continuing and that other questions may follow.
We await your prompt reply. In the meantime, the captioned filing is not approved for use in New York State. Pursuant to the Department’s 2nd Supplement to Circular Letter No. 11 (1998), a substantive reply is expected within 7 days. If such response is not received, this file will be considered withdrawn and closed accordingly without further communication. Thereafter, to request further review of the subject matter of this filing, a new submission must be made, in accordance with the provisions of Circular Letter No. 11 (1998) and supplements (and SERFF filing submission guidelines), which should address any outstanding issues included in this and any earlier communications.
Please provide notification by e-mail at [email protected] when you have responded to an objection letter or sent a Note to Reviewer via SERFF. This will help expedite review of this filing. This e-mail address should not be used for any correspondence other than for notification that the company has sent correspondence through SERFF.
Conclusion:
Sincerely, Bob Pothiwala

We need the following information and/or clarifications to further review the captioned filing:
[1] We understand that the company has submitted some more than 50 pages of Rating Territories by zip code. Kindly clarify the intent and justify the revisions made.
[2] We note the proposed Enrollment age factors. It appears that these factors create different rates for new and renewal policies. Please explain how this would not be considered unfairly discriminatory. Kindly provide some rating examples for your justifications.
[3] Please note that our review (including an actuarial review) is continuing and that other questions may follow.
We await your prompt reply. In the meantime, the captioned filing is not approved for use in New York State. Pursuant to the Department’s 2nd Supplement to Circular Letter No. 11 (1998), a substantive reply is expected within 15 days.

Response 1 Comments: A. Page C-3 of the rating manual has been updated as requested.
B. Respectfully, the use of Enrollment Age and Current Age is not unique to the Markels pet health program. Other companies have identified this as a valuable rating variable for the appropriate pricing of each risk. EXP-6 factor support, page 3 shows Enrollment Age results as run thru the GLM. We respectfully request the Departments reconsideration. Alternatively, we would like to understand the Departments position further given the enrollment age of the pet is a valid rating variable.

Response 1 Comments: [1] The program approved under MRKA-131620561, State tracking number R2018003080, utilized American Pet Insurance Companys Trupanion program Territory assignments and factors. APIC has since revised their Trupanion program territory assignments and factors, approved under APII-131959015. We are following suit with our revisions to Territory factors. We are doing so as APIC has reported over $29M in premium for their Trupanion in New York. Please see CMP-1, CMP-2, CMP-3 originally submitted.
[2] Enrollment age factors were originally approved under under MRKA-131620561, State tracking number R2018003080. We seek to revise these factors with this filing. Enrollment age is supported via the GLM analysis provided. A pet enrolled in pet health insurance since age 1 has a lower loss cost at current age 8 than a pet first insured at age 8, when the pet owner has likely witnessed some deterioration in the pets health.
[3] We acknowledge.

Amendment Letter
Submitted Date: 08/12/2020 Comments: Per the department’s request, we have removed enrollment age from the pet age matrix. Pets will now be rated solely on their age at the term effective date. Base rates have been adjusted to maintain the overall 3.4% increase originally requested. We submit revised C-1 and C-8. However as we indicated in our prior response since the use of Enrollment Age and Current Age is not unique to Markel’s pet health program, this change will put our program at a competitive disadvantage. Will the Department issue a bulletin confirming this position so that all pet insurers will be aware of it and revise their programs accordingly? Changed Items: No Form Schedule Items Changed.
