    StatisticaldatafiledwiththeMichiganDepartmentofInsuranceandFinancialServices(DIFS)throughtheIndependentStatisticalService(ISS)bysomeofthelargestcarinsurancewritersinMichigan,includingAllstate,AutoClub,andStateFarm,showsthatin2013,theaverageannualpolicypremiumforPIP,BIPD,andcollisionandcomprehensivecoverageindowntownDetroitwas$2,249.70.ThiswasdoubletheaverageannualpremiuminwesternOaklandCounty.Itshouldbenotedthatthisaggregatedataisnotadjustedtoreflectthedifferenceinthespecificcoveragespurchasedbetweenthetwoareas.ISSdataalsoshowsthatabout2/3ofpolicyholdersinDetroitpurchasefullcoverage,whilealmost100%ofpolicyholdersintheDetroitsuburbspurchasefullcoverage.

    ReformProposal#1:PIPBenefitLimitsandPreferredProviderAgreements

    IntroducePIPBenefitLimitsCurrently,PIPbenefitsinMichiganareunlimited.OneofthereformsbeingproposedistheintroductionofPIPbenefitlimits.Specifically,thelegislativechangesbeingproposedare:

    1. $25,000limitperpersonforbenefitspayableformedicalexpenses,worklossandreplacementservices.

    2. Anadditionalamountnottoexceed$250,000intheaggregate,onlyforcriticalcareforthepersonnamedintheQualifyingNoFaultPolicy,theperson'sspouse,andarelativeofeitherdomiciledinthesamehousehold,whoareinjuredinasinglemotorvehicleaccidentduringthepolicyterm.Criticalcaremeanstreatmentrenderedatanacutecarehospitalortraumacenterimmediatelyfollowingthemotorvehicleaccident,necessarytosavethepatientslifeortreatlifethreateningorpermanentlydisablinginjuries,untilthepatientisstabilized.Apatientisstabilizedwhenthepatientcansafelybedischargedortransferredtoanotheracutecarehospitalortraumacenter,rehabilitationorotherfacility,regardlessofwhetherthepatientis,infact,dischargedortransferredatthattime.AQualifyingInsurershallhavetherighttocontestthechargesofanacutecarefacilityunderthissectiontotheextenttheInsurercanpresentcompetentevidenceshowingthatthefacilityschargesrelatetopoststabilizationservices.

    Toestimatethesavingsforthisreform,Pinnacleappliedthe$25,000benefitlimittotheindividualPIPclaimsprovidedintheIRCdatabase.Priortotheapplicationofthelimit,themedicalnoncriticalcarepaidclaimamountsweredecreasedbytheestimatedsavingsfromthePreferredProviderAgreementreform(discussedbelow).Aftertheapplicationofthe$25,000limit,iftherewerepaidlossespresentontheclaimforEmergencyRoomDoctorsorAmbulanceCare,theseamountswereaddedtothelossesthatwouldbepaidunderthereformsubjecttothe$250,000limit.

    TheestimatedsavingstotheoverallPIPcostssolelyfromtheapplicationofthebenefitlimitsis62.1%forDetroit.

    PreferredProviderAgreementThisproposedchangewouldallowaninsurertocreatealimitedprovidernetwork.Exceptforemergencyservices,theinsurermayrequireaclaimanttoobtainproducts,treatment,services,accommodations,orrehabilitativeoroccupationaltherapyortrainingprovidedforunderthisactfromaproviderorsupplierthatispartofthelimitedprovidernetwork.Theclaimantmayalsoneedtoobtainpreauthorizationfornonemergencyservices.

    ThelimitedprovidernetworkandpreauthorizationwouldaddresstwosignificantissuesrelatedtoPIPcoverageinDetroit.ThefirstisthatthechargeformedicalprocedurespaidunderPIPissignificantlyhigherthanthechargeformedicalprocedurespaidunderWorkersCompensationorMedicare.ThesecondrelatestooveruseandpotentialabuseofPIPcoverage.

    Formanycommonmedicalprocedures,MichiganmedicalproviderschargenofaultinsurerstwotofivetimesmorethanrateschargedforthesameprocedurebyMedicare.1AtableofmedicalproceduresandassociatedreimbursementsunderNoFault,MedicareandWorkersCompensationisshowninAttachment1.

    Inaddition,nofaultpremiumsinMichiganmayalsobeinflatedbyoveruseofbenefits,thefilingoffraudulentorexcessiveclaims,andlegalfeesgeneratedbyexcessivelitigation.Typicalpatternsoffraudoroveruseinvolvehardtoverifyinjuriesandlargenumbersofvisitstoprovidersofalternativemedicaltherapies.2

    TheproblemofoveruseisparticularlyacuteinDetroit,where

    1. theaveragefrequencyofPIPclaimsinDetroitistwicethefrequencyinthesuburbs(12per1,000exposuresvs.6per1,000exposures),

    2. averageseverityofPIPclaimsinDetroitisroughlytwicetheaverageseverityinthesuburbs($59,000vs$30,000),and

    ThecreationofaclosednetworkwithpreauthorizationwillprovidetheDInsurancecarrierwiththeabilitytonegotiaterateswithmedicalproviders,tolimitexcessiveorunnecessarytreatmentandavoidlitigation.Therefore,webelievethattheultimateratesnegotiatedwouldmoveinthedirectionoftheWorkersCompensationschedule.AscanbeseeninAttachment1,Workerscompensationmedicalproviderreimbursementsare11%77%lowerthanreimbursementsunderPIPbasedonthetypeofmedicalprocedure.

    Toestimatethesavingsfromtheseoptions,PinnacleappliedthedeductibletoeachoftheindividualclaimsintheIRCdata.AscanbeseeninAttachment5,savingsfortheCityofDetroitrangedfrom3%to13%baseduponthedeductibleselected.

    Thecostestimatesinthisreportaregenerallystatedintermsoftheimpactonclaimlosses.Theimpactonclaimlossescannotbeusedinterchangeablywithpremiumsavings.Thisisbecauseaportionoftheinsurancecompaniesexpensesisforgeneraloverhead(rent,utilities,etc.)andwouldnotdecreaseproportionatelytothelosscosts.Basedonthe2013BestsAggregatesandAveragespublication,PrivatePassengerAutomobileLiabilitygeneralandotheracquisitionexpensesrepresent14.2%oftheindustrywidewrittenpremium(this14.2%doesnotincludeagentscommissions,premiumtaxesandotherpremiumrelatedexpenses).Toestimatethepremiumsavingscorrespondingtothecostsavingsshowninthisreport,itisnecessarytoreducethelosssavingsbyafactorof.858.Thusa64.5%costsavingsequatestoanapproximate55.3%premiumsavings.
