§ 56-46-202. Annual report of RBC levels — Filing requirements — Determination of RBC — Adjustment of report.

A domestic health organization shall, on or prior to March 1 of each year (the “filing date”), prepare and submit to the commissioner a report of its RBC levels as of the end of the previous calendar year, in a form and containing such information as is required by the RBC instructions. In addition, a domestic health organization shall file its RBC report: With the NAIC in accordance with the RBC instructions; and With the insurance commissioner in any state in which the health organization is authorized to do business, if the insurance commissioner has notified the health organization of its request in writing, in which case the health organization shall file its RBC report by the later of: Fifteen (15) days from the receipt of notice to file its RBC report with that state; or The filing date. A health organization's RBC shall be determined in accordance with the formula set forth in the RBC instructions. The formula shall take the following into account (and may adjust for the covariance between) determined in each case by applying the factors in the manner set forth in the RBC instructions: Asset risk; Credit risk; Underwriting risk; and All other business risks and such other relevant risks as are set forth in the RBC instructions. An excess of capital, also known as net worth, over the amount produced by the risk-based capital requirements contained in this part and the formulas, schedules and instructions referenced in this part is desirable in the business of health insurance. Accordingly, health organizations should seek to maintain capital above the RBC levels required by this part. Additional capital is used in the insurance business and helps to secure a health organization against various risks inherent in, or affecting, the business of insurance and not accounted for or only partially measured by the risk-based capital requirements contained in this part. If a domestic health organization files an RBC report that in the judgment of the commissioner is inaccurate, then the commissioner shall adjust the RBC report to correct the inaccuracy and shall notify the health organization of the adjustment. The notice shall contain a statement of the reason for the adjustment. An RBC report as so adjusted is referred to as an “adjusted RBC report.” Acts 2014, ch. 559, § 7.
