Section 13.10.14.25 - SPECIFIC STANDARDS FOR MORTALITY
Current through Register Vol. 35, No. 18, September 24, 2024
A. Unless Subsection B of 13.10.14.25 NMAC applies, the mortality basis used for all policies except long-term care individual policies and group certificates and for long-term care individual policies and group certificates issued before January 1, 1997 shall be according to a table (but without use of selection factors) permitted by law for the valuation of whole life insurance issued on the same date as the health insurance contract. For long-term care insurance individual policies or group certificates issued on or after January 1, 1997, the mortality basis used shall be the 1983 group annuity mortality table without projection.
B. Other mortality tables adopted by the NAIC and promulgated by the superintendent may be used in the calculation of the minimum reserves if appropriate for the type of benefits and if approved by the superintendent. The request for such approval must include the proposed mortality table and the reason that the standard specified in Subsection A of 13.10.14.25 NMAC is inappropriate.
