(a) The following rules shall apply with respect to experience data for individual insurance.

1. (1) Maintaining experience. Premium and loss data shall be recorded for each policy form and, where more than one coverage may be provided at the option of the insured under a single policy form, for each major combination of coverage and each age group (i.e., under age 65 and age 65 and over) on the following basis for each calendar year: Other than subparagraphs (vi) and (vii), the above terms are as defined in the current New York Instructions for Completion of the Life and Accident and Health Annual Statement. For policies issued on an attained age rating basis, or where benefits or premiums are changed at attained age 65, experience must be separately maintained for those under age 65 and age 65 and over. Experience, by age, need not be maintained for certain coverages, such as travel accident, with the prior consent of the superintendent.

   1. (i) premiums written or paid;
   2. (ii) each reserve component (i.e., the increase in premium reserves, policy reserves, and claim reserves and liability);
   3. (iii) earned premiums by duration, in durations corresponding to the expected loss ratios in section 52.40(d)(1)(x) of this Part. Approximations by duration may be used when included as part of the filing under section 52.40(d)(1) of this Part, or by separate prior approval;
   4. (iv) paid losses;
   5. (v) incurred losses;
   6. (vi) the interest assumptions used in the applicable expected future loss ratio calculations; and
   7. (vii) dividends incurred, as used in the policy experience exhibit.

2. (2) Combining experience. Experience under different policies where the coverage is substantially the same, and the premium rates are on a consistent basis, may be combined, but only with the prior consent of the superintendent.

   (b) Standards for maintaining experience data for benefits under the Disability Benefits Law.
