ProjectBackgroundBylaw,Michigandriversmustbuyfirstpartymedicalinsurance(alsoreferredtoasPersonalInjuryProtectionorPIP)andresidualliabilitycoverage(BodilyInjuryandPropertyDamage,BIPD).Driversarenotlegallyrequiredtobuycollisionandcomprehensivecoverage,butthesecoveragesarerequiredbylienholdersifadriverhasacarloan.
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.

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.

Tounderstandthepotentialsavingsbasedonimplementationofpreauthorization,thusdecreasingfraudandoverutilization,PinnaclereviewedthestatisticsrelatedtoPIPfraudinotherstates.IntheIRCdata,therearedatafieldsthatindicatewhetheraclaimwasreferredtoanotheragencyforfurtherinvestigation.Foraspecificclaim,thisfieldindicateswhetherornotaclaimwasreferredtotheinsurancecompanysSpecialInvestigativeUnit(SIU),lawenforcement,prosecutorsortheNationalInsuranceCrimeBureau(NICB).Inaddition,Pinnaclereviewedtheseverityofclaimsthatwerereferredforfurtherinvestigationversusthosethatwerenotreferred.
Attachment2showstheclaimreferralratesbyNoFaultstateandtheseverityofnonreferredvs.referredclaims.ForPIP,thereferralratesforMichiganwere5.4%andforDetroitwere20%.Theotherstatesrangedinreferralrateswere1.9%10.6%.TheseverityfornonreferredclaimsforMichiganwasabout62%lowerthantheseverityforreferredclaims.ForDetroit,thenonreferredseveritywas71%lowerthantheseverityforreferredclaims.Fortheotherstates,thedifferenceinseveritiesrangedfrom8.4%35%lowerfornonreferredclaims.Asaresult,forPIPwecanseethatthereispotentialforsavingsbasedontheseveritydifferencesofreferredvs.nonreferredclaims.Assuminganestimated25%decreaseinseverity,forexample,translatesintoestimatedsavingsforPIPof10.5%,asshowninAttachment3.
Basedonthiscombinationofpotentialsavings,weareestimatinga20%losscostsavingsfromimplementingalimitedprovidernetworkandpreauthorization.Thisestimatedsavingsappliedonlytothemedicalportionofthelossespaidandassumingnootherchangeswouldresultina13.9%estimateddecreaseinoverallPIPlosscosts.SeeAttachment4formoredetails.
ReformProposal#2:HighDeductibleOptionThisoptionwouldallowinsuredstopurchasePIPbenefitssubjecttoadeductible.Pinnacleestimatedthesavingsfromseveraldeductibleoptions$1,000,$2,500and$5,000.Forthisoption,theinsuredwouldberesponsibleformedicalcostsuptheamountofthedeductible.
Toestimatethesavingsfromtheseoptions,PinnacleappliedthedeductibletoeachoftheindividualclaimsintheIRCdata.AscanbeseeninAttachment5,savingsfortheCityofDetroitrangedfrom3%to13%baseduponthedeductibleselected.
TotalEstimatedSavingsReformOption#1AscanbeseeninAttachment6,thecombinedestimatedlosssavingsforthelimitedprovidernetworkandthePIPbenefitlimitfortheCityofDetroitisestimatedtobe64.5%ofPIPclaimcosts.Thereasonthetotalsavingsdoesnotequaltheproductoftheindividualsavingsestimatesisduetotheoverlappingimpact.Becauseofthe$25,000PIPbenefitlimit,theimpactofthelimitedprovidernetworkisdampenedsignificantly.

Toestimatethesavings,Pinnaclebeganwiththe2013averagepremiumbycoverageinDetroitMetropolitanInner(Territory36)ascalculatedfromtheAutomobileExperienceDatafromISS.Wethenappliedtheestimatedlosssavingspercentages(adjustedasdescribedbelow)basedonthereformsdiscussed.Theoverallestimatedpremiumsavingsforafullcoveragepolicywouldbe25.8%,whiletheestimatedsavingsforaliabilityonlypolicywouldbeabout45.9%.
Thecostestimatesinthisreportaregenerallystatedintermsoftheimpactonclaimlosses.Theimpactonclaimlossescannotbeusedinterchangeablywithpremiumsavings.Thisisbecauseaportionoftheinsurancecompaniesexpensesisforgeneraloverhead(rent,utilities,etc.)andwouldnotdecreaseproportionatelytothelosscosts.Basedonthe2013BestsAggregatesandAveragespublication,PrivatePassengerAutomobileLiabilitygeneralandotheracquisitionexpensesrepresent14.2%oftheindustrywidewrittenpremium(this14.2%doesnotincludeagentscommissions,premiumtaxesandotherpremiumrelatedexpenses).Toestimatethepremiumsavingscorrespondingtothecostsavingsshowninthisreport,itisnecessarytoreducethelosssavingsbyafactorof.858.Thusa64.5%costsavingsequatestoanapproximate55.3%premiumsavings.
