As we look for innovative ways to simplify your work, we’ve made a change to help you analyze data. CII Discover now provides a consistent reporting methodology for Self-Insured and some Fully Insured group accounts.
CII Discover users will see a matched runout period to ensure consistency among incurred data views for each time period. The change took effect July 7, 2021, with the May paid claims data refresh.
Typically, group accounts view results on a paid basis with no built-in claims runout. For employers that view results on an incurred basis, we’ve made an enhancement to the process that we refer to as matched runout. The new method offers more precise insight when analyzing growth patterns and trends to ensure an equal amount of claims runout in a year-over-year analysis.
Fully Insured non-refunding, non-exempt group accounts are not affected by this change. Fully Insured National accounts or markets not subject to underwriting rules will be able to use the new methodology going forward.
Users will also see a change in the account structure and time period parameters screen. The Paid vs Incurred, and Runout months will be above the date selection to provide a more logical flow in user selection.
With innovation and your collaboration, we’re making it easier to manage your plans.
