The following report is respectfully submitted. Regence Health Maintenance of Oregon, Inc. SCOPE OF EXAMINATION We have perfonned our regular, triennial, multi-state examination of Regence Health Maintenance of Oregon, Inc., conducted with the insurance regulators from the States of Idaho, Utah and Washington, for the coordinated examination of insurers under Gambia Health Solutions, Inc. (“Gambia”). Oregon was designated as the lead State. The examination was conducted in conjunction with the examination of eight affdiated health care service contractors and two life and health insurers. A separate Report of Examination will be prepared for each entity. The last examination of this health care service contractor was completed as of December 31, 2014. The current examination covers the period of January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2017. We conducted our examination pursuant to ORS 731.300 and in accordance with ORS 731.302(1), which allows the examiners to consider the guidelines and procedures in the NAIG Financial Condition Examiners Handbook. The handbook requires that we plan and perform the examination to evaluate the financial condition and identify prospective risks of the Plan by obtaining information about the Plan, including corporate governance, identifying and assessing inherent risks within the Plan, and evaluating system controls and procedures used to mitigate those risks. An examination also includes identifying and evaluating significant risks that could cause an insurer's surplus to be materially misstated both currently and prospectively. All accounts and activities of the Plan were considered in accordance with the risk focused examination process. This may include assessing significant estimates made by management and evaluating management's compliance with Statutory Accounting Principles. The examination does not attest to the fair presentation of the financial statements included herein. If, during the course of the examination an adjustment is identified, the impact of such adjustment will be documented separately following the Plan's financial statements. Regence Health Maintenance of Oregon, Inc. This examination report ineludes signifieant findings of fact, as mentioned in ORS 731.302 and general information about the insurer and its financial condition. There may be other items identified during the examination that, due to their nature (e.g., subjective conclusions, proprietary infomiation, etc.), are not included within the examination report but separately communicated to other regulators and/or the Plan.
