Allianz life insurance company of north america long term care

Allianz Life Insurance Company of North America is pulling its stand-alone long-term-care insurance product off the shelves, effective Nov. 13.
On that date, the carrier will no longer accept applications and will stop selling the product, according to an announcement Allianz made internally and to its distribution partners.
LTC sales have been falling across the industry, even though baby boomers are starting to represent a larger portion of the population.
These broad declines prompted Allianz to drop its stand-alone LTC product, but the company plans to continue selling its life insurance product with a long-term-care rider, according to spokeswoman Emily Porter.
The stand-alone product made up only a small percentage of the company’s total business, she said.
The company will continue to honor its current LTC policies.

Allianz Life Insurance Company of North America – Individual (GPR)

Rate request: 63.7 percent average increase

Decision: Disapproved, limited to 30% level increase

On July 7, 2021 Allianz Insurance Company of North America requested an average increase of 63.7 percent on a block of business of tax-qualified individual long-term policies (GPR) which were sold from 2003 to 2006. The increase ranges from 30%-95% and varies by benefit period.

These are no longer being marketed. There are about 200 policies in force in Connecticut.

The company said in its filing that the increase is needed due to past and projected future experience that continues to be more adverse than previously expected and originally priced for.

Unlike medical health insurance with premiums set to cover expenses incurred only during the upcoming policy year, long term care premiums are set to cover expenses that are not expected to occur until a distant date, sometimes 20 years in the future.

Upon Actuarial Review, the Department approved a reduced 30% level increase on December 2, 2021. The Connecticut experience has been more favorable than the nationwide experience but has deteriorated over recent years. While the Connecticut experience is not credible, it still needs to meet the minimum 60% lifetime loss ratio. The rate increase will be spread over three years at 9.24% a year.

The company said its policyholders will have options to change or reduce benefits in order to mitigate the impact of an increase. The new rate would take effect 60 days after the company has notified its policyholders. Connecticut law requires that any increase 20 percent or higher be phased in over three years or more.
