Paragraph 944-20-15-34B states that in claims-made insurance, the insured event is the reporting to the insurer, within the period specified by the policy, of a claim for a loss covered by the insurance contract. Accordingly, a prospective claims-made insurance policy only covers claims for losses reportable to the insurer during the policy term. A retroactive provision provides coverage for known claims, for which the underlying event had occurred and the incident would have been reportable prior to the effective date of the claims-made policy. A recognized liability for incurred but not reported claims generally would not be determinative in concluding that a claims-made insurance policy either does or does not contain a retroactive provision.

All relevant facts and circumstances should be considered in evaluating whether a claims-made policy contains a retroactive provision. The following are indicators that a claims-made insurance policy does not contain a retroactive provision (that is, it does not provide coverage for previously reportable claims) and, therefore, shall be accounted for on a prospective basis. No one indicator is determinative in this evaluation; the determination must be made upon the specific facts and circumstances:
  1. a
    The insured consistently purchases claims-made insurance policies as part of its risk management program for the specific type of risk being insured, and tail coverage for both prior periods and prior policies is readily available and not excessively priced as compared to tail coverage offered to similar entities that do not contain retroactive provisions.
  2. b
    The claims-made insurance policy is responsive to unknown risks for a finite or limited period of time, as evidenced by the fact that all of the following conditions exist:
    1. 1
      The type of risk being insured is inherently short-tailed (that is, the claims are incurred during the policy period and paid out in their entirety shortly after the end of the policy period).
    2. 2
      The policy term is for a limited period of time (for example, one-year coverage).
    3. 3
      Claims-made coverage is the most readily available coverage for this type of insurance risk.
    4. 4
      The occurrence date of the type of risk covered by the policy is unclear (that is, the causal event that gives rise to an insured claim is difficult to determine). Such a lack of identification creates difficulty in assessing risk for an entity considering whether to self-insure its insurance risk (for example, a manufacturing entity may be completely unaware of the potential health hazards attributable to its core products and may want to protect itself in case a by-product of its production process becomes the next asbestos).
  3. c
    The claims-made insurance policy contains an unambiguous trigger indicating that a claim is covered by the policy. That contract trigger should not be subject to interpretation, negotiation, or manipulation. An example of an unambiguous trigger that indicates that a claim is covered by a claims-made insurance policy would include both of the following provisions:
    1. 1
      The insured notifies the insurance carrier during the policy term that a claim has been asserted or that an incident has occurred.
    2. 2
      The insured must represent that it was not aware of any such incident when the claims-made policy was purchased.
  4. d
    The premium charged for the claims-made insurance policy is not significantly in excess of the premium that would be charged for a claims-made insurance policy that could be purchased by a similar entity with similar insurance risks and no knowledge of any circumstances or events that would result in any claims, excluding any anticipated amounts for a typical number of claims for which the insured is not aware to have specifically occurred but that it expects would be reported (incurred but not reported).
  5. e
    The insurer may base the premium for the claims-made insurance policy on estimates and predictions that are based on the past experience of the insured but the premium is not based on settlement estimates of specific, known events that are expected to be recovered under the policy.
  6. f
    The premium charged for the policy in the current year is not significantly in excess of that charged in previous years, other than for increases in the amount or type of coverage. An anticipated increase in premiums that is expected to occur because the insured entity is advancing toward the mature stage of premiums for claims-made insurance would not be considered in making that determination.
  7. g
    The claims-made insurance policy is primarily intended to cover insurance risk and is not a financing arrangement. Claims-made insurance policies that are intended to cover insurance risk typically include features such as:
    1. 1
      An absence of adjustment features based on experience
    2. 2
      Coverage of the ultimate loss from the claim, once made, regardless of period of settlement.
  8. h
    If the claims-made insurance policy has a specified retroactive date prior to the inception of the claims-made relationship with the insurer, the period from that specified retroactive date to the inception of the claims-made relationship with that insurer is either short or covered by other insurance policies.
