2632.1 Except as provided in section 2631, exceptional increases shall be subject to the same requirements as other premium rate schedule increases.
2632.2 The Commissioner may request a review by an independent actuary or a professional actuarial body of the basis for a request that an increase be considered an exceptional increase.
2632.3 The Commissioner, in determining whether a justification for an exceptional increase exists, shall also determine any potential offsets to higher claims
costs.
2632.4 For the purposes of this section, the term “exceptional increase” means an increase filed by an insurer as exceptional and for which the Commissioner determines the need for the premium rate increase is justified due to:
(a) Changes in laws or regulations applicable to long-term care coverage in the District of Columbia; or
(b) Increased and unexpected utilization that affects the majority of insurers of similar products.
