Disclosures
Purpose of the Report
The purpose of this report is to provide the proposed voluntary loss costs and assigned risk
rates for workers compensation policies in Nevada, proposed to be effective March 1, 2021. The
intended users of this report are:
The Nevada Division of Insurance
Affiliated carriers, for their reference in determining workers compensation rates
Scope
The prospective loss costs are intended to cover the indemnity and medical benefits provided
under the system, as well as some of the expenses associated with providing these benefits
(loss adjustment expenses). They do not, however, contemplate any other costs associated with
providing workers compensation insurance (such as commissions, taxes, etc.).
Although considered, since the combined impact and direction of all direct and indirect COVID-
19 related forces is unknown, no explicit adjustment has been made in this year’s analysis at an
overall or individual classification code level.
Each insurance company offering workers compensation insurance in Nevada must file a loss
cost multiplier to be applied to the approved advisory prospective loss costs in order to compute
the final workers compensation rates they intend to charge. This multiplier is intended to cover
the other costs associated with providing workers compensation insurance that are not already
part of the advisory prospective loss costs.
Employers unable to secure coverage in the voluntary market can apply for such coverage in
the assigned risk market. The proposed assigned risk rates are intended to cover the indemnity
and medical benefits provided under the system, the expenses associated with providing these
benefits (loss adjustment expenses), and any other costs associated with providing workers
compensation insurance (such as commissions, taxes, etc.).

Voluntary
Loss Cost and Assigned Risk Rate Filing – March 1, 2021
Disclosures
The overall average loss cost level change in this filing is based on premium and loss
experience evaluated as of December 31, 2019. Therefore, this data does not reflect any
potential direct or indirect effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Loss cost level changes at the classification code level are based on five years of Unit Statistical
Plan Data, which is the audited exposure, premium, and loss information reported to NCCI on a
policy level. The Unit Statistical Plan Data used in this filing includes policies with expiration
dates through December 2018. Therefore, the individual classification code experience does not
reflect potential direct or indirect effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. In this filing, Unit Statistical
Data submissions received after September 8, 2020 were not considered for inclusion in the
analysis.
In some areas, NCCI’s analysis also relies on other data sources, which are reviewed for
reasonableness and are referenced in the filing where applicable.
This filing was prepared as of October 2, 2020. Therefore, events that occurred after this date
that may have a material impact on workers compensation costs in this jurisdiction have not
been considered in the analysis.
NCCI maintains several data reporting initiatives and programs to assist carriers to report data
and to ensure that the data that is reported to NCCI is complete, accurate, and reported in a
timely fashion. Occasionally, a carrier’s data submission is not available for use in an NCCI filing
either because the data was not reported prior to the filing, had quality issues, or NCCI
determined that the data that was reported should not be included in the filing based on NCCI's
actuarial judgment.
Data for all carriers writing at least one-tenth of one percent of the Nevada workers
compensation written premium volume have been included in the experience period on which
this filing is based.
Other exclusions are made for the purposes of analysis, but do not have a material impact on
the proposed changes in this filing.

Disclosures
In addition, any future changes to workers compensation law or regulations that apply
retroactively to policies or benefit claims on policies in the proposed effective period may have a
significant impact on the adequacy of the loss costs proposed in this filing.
The premium and loss experience on which this filing is based does not reflect potential direct or
indirect effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. At this time, the course of the pandemic remains
unclear and represents a significant source of uncertainty with respect to estimating workers
compensation system costs for the proposed loss cost effective period.
The direct effect of compensable claims resulting from COVID-19 infections may put upward
pressure on workers compensation costs, as could certain indirect effects. For example, there is
potential for the weakened labor market to lengthen return-to-work times or adverse loss
development to occur if the pandemic serves to increase the time to medical treatment for
injured workers. However, it is possible that other various effects may put downward pressure
on workers compensation costs—such as increased telecommuting, decreased exposure to
motor vehicle accidents, and an increased use of telehealth for injured workers. Additional
COVID-19-related considerations, such as future economic conditions and their corresponding
impact on the labor market, contribute additional uncertainty when estimating future costs.
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic creates additional uncertainty regarding the makeup and loss
experience of the residual market. Employers who obtain policies in the residual market due to
potential COVID-19 exposure may differ from the types of employers in the historical residual
market data analyzed in this filing.
After considering direct and indirect pandemic-related factors, it is reasonable to believe they
will give rise to component changes that may, to some extent, have offsetting impacts on
workers compensation system costs. Although considered, since the combined impact and
direction of all direct and indirect COVID-19-related forces is unknown, no explicit adjustment for
the pandemic has been made in this year’s analysis at an overall or individual classification
code level.

Voluntary
Loss Cost and Assigned Risk Rate Filing – March 1, 2021
Executive Summary
Based on its review of the most recently available data, NCCI has proposed an overall average
workers compensation voluntary market loss cost level change of –5.2% to become effective
March 1, 2021. In addition, NCCI has proposed an overall average assigned risk rate level
change of –9.9%, also to become effective March 1, 2021.
Key observations:
The overall loss cost level change in this filing is based on premium and loss experience for
Policy Years 2017 and 2018, evaluated as of December 31, 2019. This data does not reflect
any effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Policy Years 2017 and 2018 experience is
favorable.
In the determination of the loss development factors consideration was given to the impacts
of the revised Actuarial Annuity Table, adopted effective December 4, 2017.
Nevada’s claim frequency continues to decline. After adjusting to a common wage level,
medical average cost per case figures have exhibited relatively more stability in recent years
when compared with those for indemnity.

Voluntary
Loss Cost and Assigned Risk Rate Filing – March 1, 2021
Overview of Methodology
Aggregate Ratemaking
NCCI’s approach to determining the proposed overall average loss cost level change utilizes
widely accepted ratemaking methodologies. The approach employed in this filing includes the
following steps:
The reported historical premium totals are projected to an ultimate basis and adjusted to
the current pure premium level
The reported historical indemnity and medical loss totals are projected to an ultimate
basis and adjusted to the current benefit level
Ratios of losses to pure premium are projected to the cost levels expected in the loss
cost effective period
Proposed benefit level and/or expense changes are applied to the projected cost ratios
The indicated average loss cost level change is calculated for the years in the filing’s experience
period. If the final projected cost ratios are greater (less) than 1.000, then an increase
(decrease) in the average loss cost level is indicated.
Class Ratemaking
Once the proposed overall average voluntary loss cost level change has been determined,
NCCI separately determines loss costs per $100 of payroll for each workers compensation job
classification (class); the loss costs and year-over-year changes vary by class. Three sets of
pure premiums are combined as part of each class code’s loss cost calculation based on the
volume of available data for that job classification. The three sets of pure premiums are:
State-specific payroll and loss experience (“indicated”)
Currently-approved pure premium adjusted to the proposed level (“present on rate
level”)
Countrywide experience adjusted to state conditions (“national”)
The proposed assigned risk rates are then determined for each job classification as the product
of the classification’s voluntary loss cost and a loss cost multiplier (LCM). The LCM incorporates
the indicated assigned risk market expense need, changes to the assigned risk differential, and
the proposed uncollectible premium provision.
Note: The methodology and assumptions used in this filing may not be applicable to or relevant
for another purpose, including but not limited to NCCI filings in other jurisdictions.

Voluntary
Loss Cost and Assigned Risk Rate Filing – March 1, 2021
The specific loss experience used by NCCI in this filing is paid losses which are the benefit
amounts already paid by insurers on reported claims. This is consistent with NCCI filings made
in the past several years in Nevada. Loss development factors are needed since paid losses on
a given claim change over time until the claim is finally closed. The loss development factors are
based on how paid losses changed over time for claims from older years. The specific
development link ratio selections underlying this filing are shown below:
A three-year average of historical premium development factors
A three-year average of historical paid loss development factors through a 16th report
Loss development tail factors on an accident year 16th to ultimate basis are selected
based on the results of fitting an inverse power curve to incremental loss development
factors as well as reviewing the historical loss development patterns
The indemnity paid loss development factors include an adjustment for the adoption of
the Actuarial Annuity Table, pursuant to NRS 616C.495 and Enacted Assembly Bill 438
The ultimate impact that the COVID-19 pandemic will have on loss development factors is
unknown. Although considered, since the combined impact and direction of all direct and
indirect COVID-19-related forces is unknown, no explicit adjustment for the pandemic has been
made in this year’s analysis.
Trend
This filing relies primarily on the experience from policy years 2017 and 2018. However, the
proposed loss costs and assigned risk rates are intended for use with policies with effective
dates starting on March 1, 2021. It is necessary to use trend factors that forecast how much the
future Nevada workers compensation experience will differ from the past. These trend factors
measure anticipated changes in the amount of indemnity and medical benefits as compared
with anticipated changes in the amount of workers’ wages. For example, if benefit costs are
expected to grow faster than wages, then a trend factor greater than zero is indicated.
Conversely, if wages are expected to grow faster than benefit costs, then a trend factor less
than zero is indicated. While historical changes in claim frequency and average cost per case

Nevada
Voluntary
Loss Cost and Assigned Risk Rate Filing – March 1, 2021
were also reviewed, NCCI applies loss ratio trend factors in the determination of the proposed
overall average loss cost level change.
The COVID-19 pandemic is an extraordinary, unprecedented event. At this time, the overall
impact the COVID-19 pandemic may have on trends is indeterminate. It is reasonable to believe
COVID-19 will give rise to component changes that may, to some extent, have offsetting
impacts on system costs. For example,
Short- and long-term COVID-19-related impacts may also differ. For example,
In the short term, during the COVID-19 pandemic, there may be a reduction in the
number of physical therapy sessions attended by injured employees and/or a deferral in
the number of workers compensation-related surgeries that are not deemed to be
immediately critical
Over the longer term, an increase in these types of services may be expected as the
current burden on medical-related personnel and facilities is lessened
In economic downturns, workers may forego filing claims for certain injuries to maintain
active employment as the economy navigates these uncertain times—leading to
temporary downward pressure on claim frequency
Although considered, since the combined impact and direction of all direct and indirect COVID-
19-related forces is unknown, no explicit adjustment for the pandemic has been made in this
year’s trend analysis.

Benefit Changes
NCCI has included the impact of the most recent Medical Fee Schedule update effective
February 1, 2020. This change is estimated to increase overall workers compensation system
costs by 0.7%. Please see Appendix C-I for additional detail.
The proposed loss costs include a provision for loss adjustment expenses (LAE). These are
expenses associated with the handling of workers compensation claims. LAE is included in the
loss costs by using a ratio of loss adjustment expense dollars to loss dollars (called the LAE
provision). In this filing, NCCI is proposing to increase the current voluntary LAE provision from
17.0% to 18.0% of losses. Please see Exhibit II for additional detail.

Voluntary
Loss Cost and Assigned Risk Rate Filing – March 1, 2021
Proposed Change to the Countrywide Adjusting and Other Expense (AOE) Provision
Calculation
Each year, NCCI performs a countrywide analysis to determine an actuarially appropriate AOE
provision for inclusion in state loss cost/rate filings. The analysis is based on data from NCCI’s
Call for Loss Adjustment Expense (Financial Call #19).
As a result of Third-Party Administrator (TPA) agreements, some carriers report losses on Call
#19 without associated AOE. Beginning with this filing, for policies associated with TPA
agreements where the AOE is not reported to NCCI, the associated losses will be excluded
from the AOE analysis so that they do not impact the countrywide ultimate AOE ratios. All other
aspects of the current AOE methodology remain unchanged.
Proposed Change to the Basis for Determining the Assigned Risk Differential
This filing proposes a modification to the approach for determining the assigned risk differential;
this change will more equitably distribute the overall average statewide loss experience change
to the separate assigned risk and voluntary markets.
In past filings, the assigned risk differential was based on a comparison of loss ratio experience
between the assigned risk and statewide (assigned risk plus voluntary) markets. The proposed
approach compares assigned risk market loss ratios to those based on voluntary market data
alone. Determining the assigned risk differential based on the results of an assigned risk-to-
voluntary market comparison is more directly aligned with the relationship that underlies the
assigned risk rates and voluntary loss costs by individual classification code.

The proposed loss costs include a provision for loss adjustment expenses (LAE).
LAE is included in the loss costs by using a ratio of loss adjustment expense dollars to loss
dollars (called the LAE provision). These expenses are directly associated with the handling of
workers compensation claims. The LAE provision is comprised of two components: Adjusting
and Other Expenses (AOE) and Defense and Cost Containment Expenses (DCCE).
Given the nature of AOE, it cannot be allocated to a specific claim, and hence cannot be
accurately attributed to specific states. Therefore, the state specific AOE ratio reflects the latest
selected countrywide provision. The countrywide provision was calculated using data obtained
from the NCCI Call for Loss Adjustment Expense. The accident year developed AOE ratios
displayed in Section A are calculated on a countrywide basis using private carrier-only data.
NCCI used the following general methodology to determine the proposed DCCE provision
based on Nevada-specific paid DCCE and losses reported on the NCCI Call for Policy Year
Data:
Ratios of reported paid DCCE-to-paid losses by policy year are developed to a 15th
report using DCCE ratio development factors. The development factors were adjusted to
account for the calendar year 2018 impact from the adoption of the Actuarial Annuity
Table, pursuant to NRS 616C.495.
A 15th-to-ultimate tail factor is applied to reflect expected development beyond a 15th
report.
The proposed DCCE provision is selected based on the ultimate projected DCCE ratios
by policy year.
The calculation of the loss adjustment expense provision is shown on the following pages.

Premium on-level factors are adjustment factors that reflect the cumulative impact of all
premium level changes that have occurred during and after the individual year being on-leveled.
To calculate a weighted average, NCCI utilizes a monthly premium distribution for Nevada
based on an analysis of policies reported in the Unit Statistical Data. Additional adjustments
applied as part of the premium on-level factor calculation include:
Adjustment for Expense Constant Removal: This factor removes premium collected via
the charged expense constant.
Adjustment for Expense Removal: This factor is applied to remove expenses from the
reported assigned risk and voluntary DSR level premium totals—to render the separate
market premiums more comparable.
Uncollectible Premium Provision to Gross Premium Factor: This factor is applied to the
assigned risk market premium in states where it is necessary to account for the
difference between gross premium as reported and the ultimate premium that is
collected.
Experience Rating Off-Balance Adjustment Factor: This factor reflects the relative
difference between the average experience rating modification for the historical year
being on-leveled and the average experience rating modification targeted in the filing.
Factor to Reflect the Impact of Assigned Risk Pricing Programs: This factor adjusts the
ratemaking premium to a common assigned risk market share of 5% across experience
years. The adjustment removes possible policy year-to-policy year distortions that may
result due to changes in the volume of business written in the assigned risk market. In
addition, the application of a consistent market share value from filing-to-filing results in
benchmark level loss costs that are independent of changes in the size of the assigned
risk market.
Loss on-level factors are adjustment factors that reflect the cumulative impact of all benefit level
changes that have occurred during and after the individual year of data being on-leveled.
Note: For NCCI ratemaking purposes, proposed benefit level changes that (i) do not impact the
experience period of the filing and (ii) have not yet been approved are included in Exhibit I,
rather than in the loss on-level calculation.

For premium development, link ratios are used from 1st report through 5th report. It is assumed
that no further development occurs after the 5th report.
For indemnity and medical loss development, link ratios are used from 1st report through the 16th
report.
For indemnity and medical loss development past the 16th report, a “tail” factor is used to reflect
all future expected emergence. The selection of indemnity and medical paid 16th-to-ultimate tail
factors utilizes the results of fitting an inverse power curve to incremental loss development
factors as well as historical development patterns.
Assembly Bill 438 incorporates a cost of living adjustment (COLA) for workers entitled to receive
compensation under permanent total disability from which the accident causing such injury
occurred on or after January 1, 2004. The annual COLA is set at 2.3%.
The experience period for this filing includes any permanent total disability claims incurred
during policy years 2017 and 2018, which are subject to AB 438. However, because the COLA
on these claims is minimal as of December 31, 2019, the reported paid losses do not reflect the
impact of AB 438. Since the future emergence of the COLA is also not fully reflected in the paid
loss development pattern, an adjustment to the paid loss development factors is necessary.
Going forward, the impact of this adjustment will diminish over time as the paid loss
development pattern increasingly reflects the COLA.
The adoption of the Actuarial Annuity Table, pursuant to NRS 616C.495, increases paid losses
for lump sum payments of permanent partial disability awards made after December 4, 2017.
This is seen in the data reported as of December 31, 2018. Since the implementation impact in

Loss Cost and Assigned Risk Rate Filing – March 1, 2021
While claim frequency and average costs per case are reviewed separately, NCCI selects
annual indemnity and medical loss ratio trend factors based on an analysis of historical
indemnity and medical loss ratios, along with other pertinent considerations, including, but not
limited to, changes in system benefits and administration, economic environment, credibility of
state data, and prior trend approach and selection.
The lost-time claim frequency, average costs per case, and loss ratios for Policy Years 2004
through 2018 are shown in Appendix A-III, along with the impact of the trend selection for each
policy year in the experience period. The trend lengths displayed in Section B(3) are calculated
by comparing the average accident date for the effective period of the proposed loss costs to
each of the policy years in the experience period. The average accident dates are based on a
Nevada distribution of policy writings by month and assume a uniform probability of loss over
the coverage period.

Voluntary
Loss Cost and Assigned Risk Rate Filing – March 1, 2021
NCCI separately determines voluntary loss costs for each workers compensation classification.
The proposed change from the current loss cost will vary depending on the classification. The
following are the general steps utilized to determine the individual classification loss costs:
1. Calculate industry group differentials, which are used to more equitably distribute the
proposed overall average loss cost level change based on the individual experience of
each industry group
2. For each classification, determine the indicated pure premiums based on the most
recently-available five policy periods of Nevada payroll and loss experience
3. Indicated pure premiums are credibility-weighted with present on rate level pure
premiums and national pure premiums to generate derived by formula pure premiums
4. Final adjustments include the application of a test correction factor, the ratio of manual-
to-standard premium, and swing limits.

APPENDIX B-I
After determining the required changes in the overall loss cost level for the state and by industry group, the next step in the ratemaking
procedure is to distribute these changes among the various occupational classifications. In order to do this, the pure premiums by
classification must be adjusted, by policy period, industry group, or on an overall basis, to incorporate the changes proposed in the filing.
There are three sets of pure premiums for each classification: indicated, present on rate level, and national pure premiums.

APPENDIX B-I
Countrywide data is adjusted to Nevada conditions in four steps. First, statewide indicated pure premiums are determined for Nevada.
Second, using Nevada payrolls as weights, corresponding statewide-average pure premiums are computed for each remaining state.
Third, the ratios of Nevada statewide pure premiums to those for other states are used as adjustment factors to convert losses for other
states to a basis that is consistent with the Nevada indicated pure premiums. The quotient of the countrywide total of such adjusted
losses divided by the total countrywide payroll for the classification is the initial pure premium indicated by national relativity. Finally,
national pure premiums are balanced to the level of the state indicated pure premiums to ensure unbiased derived by formula pure
premiums. Indemnity and medical pure premiums are computed separately.
As for the preceding pure premiums, separate computations are performed for each partial pure premium: indemnity and medical. Each
partial formula pure premium is derived by the weighting of the indicated, present on rate level and national partial pure premiums. The
weight assigned to the policy year indicated pure premium varies in one-percent intervals from zero percent to one hundred percent,
depending upon the volume of expected losses (i.e. the product of the underlying pure premiums and the payroll in hundreds). To achieve
full state credibility, a classification must have expected losses of at least: $50,949,797 for indemnity and $22,052,974 for medical.
For the national pure premiums, credibility is determined from the number of lost-time claims. Full credibility standards are: 2,300 lost-
time claims for indemnity and 2,000 lost-time claims for medical.
Partial credibilities are assigned using a credibility formula similar to that used for indicated pure premiums but based on the number of
national cases. In no case is the national credibility permitted to exceed 50% of the complement of the state credibility.
The residual credibility (100% minus the sum of the state and national credibilities) is assigned to the present on rate level pure premium.
For example, if the state credibility is 40%, the national pure premium is assigned a maximum credibility of 30% ((100-
40) / 2). The remainder is assigned to the present on rate level pure premium.
The total pure premium shown on the attached Appendix B-III is obtained by adding the indemnity and medical partial pure premiums
obtained above and rounding the sum to two decimal places.

4. Swing Limits
As a further step, a test is made to make certain that the proposed loss costs fall within the following departures from the
present loss costs:
These limits have been calculated in accordance with the following formula:
Max. Deviation = Effect of the final change in loss cost level by industry group plus or minus 20% rounded to the nearest 1%.
The product of the swing limits and the present loss cost sets bounds for the proposed loss cost. If the calculated loss cost
falls outside of the bounds, the closest bound is chosen as the proposed loss cost. When a code is limited, the underlying
pure premiums are adjusted to reflect the limited loss cost. The classifications which have been so limited are shown below.
Note that classifications that are subject to special handling may fall outside of the swing limits. A code listed below with an
asterisk indicates the code’s swing limit was adjusted by one cent before being applied; this is only performed when the upper
and lower bounds calculated by the swing limit are equal.
An illustrative example showing the calculation of a proposed manual class loss cost is attached as Appendix B-III. This
example demonstrates the manner in which the partial pure premiums are combined to produce a total pure premium, and
shows the steps in the calculation at which the rounding takes place. The loss costs for other classifications are calculated in
the same manner.

APPENDIX B-III
Derivation of Proposed Loss Cost - Code 8810
As previously explained in Appendix B-I, the indicated pure premiums are developed by adjusting the limited losses by a set of conversion
factors. The converted losses are then summarized into indemnity and medical and then divided by payroll (in hundreds). The derivation
of the indicated pure premium for the above-captioned classification follows:
After the application of the primary conversion factors, the limited losses are brought to an expected unlimited
level through the application of a hazard group-specific excess loss factor. The factor is shown below:
HAZARD GROUP: C
Excess Factor 1.217
As the excess loss factor is on a combined (indemnity and medical) basis, the following portion of the indemnity

cost by the conversion factors. The derivation of the present on rate level pure premiums for the above-captioned
classification follows:
*The current underlying pure premiums have been adjusted for the removal of the current voluntary offset to convert to the
statewide level consistent with the indicated pure premiums. In addition, the pure premiums have been adjusted to reflect

Appendix C provides details on changes affecting workers compensation benefit costs that are
not yet reflected in the on-level factors shown in Appendix A-I. Such changes may result from
annual updates in medical reimbursement levels or other changes that directly affect worker
compensation benefit levels. In addition, changes to the administration of the workers
compensation system, including benefit levels, may result from specific regulatory, legislative, or
judicial action. The overall effect of benefit changes displayed in Appendix C is calculated as of
the benefit effective date, which may differ from the overall impact on the filing as shown in the
Executive Summary.
The following changes affecting Nevada benefit levels are detailed in this section of the filing:

APPENDIX C-I
Analysis of the Nevada Medical Fee Schedule Updates, Effective February 1, 2020
NCCI estimates that the changes to the medical fee schedule in Nevada, effective February 1, 2020,
will result in an impact of +0.7% on overall workers compensation system costs.
SUMMARY OF CHANGES
The Nevada Division of Industrial Relations (DIR) has adopted changes to the Nevada Medical Fee
Schedule, effective February 1, 2020. The prior fee schedule was in effect from February 1, 2019 through
January 31, 2020. The adopted fee schedule applies the medical consumer price index (MCPI) increase
of +2.8% to:
Professional Services conversion factors for all physician practice categories
Maximum allowable reimbursements (MARs) for Nevada specific codes
MARs for Ambulatory Surgical Center (ASC) reimbursements and Outpatient Hospital Surgical
reimbursement
o ASC services and surgical procedures performed in a hospital outpatient setting are
reimbursed according to a set of nine groups of Current Procedural Terminology (CPT)
codes and Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) codes, as published
by the Nevada DIR.
ACTUARIAL ANALYSIS
NCCI’s methodology to evaluate the impact of medical fee schedule changes includes three major steps:
1. Calculate the percentage change in maximum reimbursements
Compare the prior and revised maximum reimbursements by procedure code to
determine the percentage change by procedure code.
Calculate the weighted‐average percentage change in maximum reimbursements for
the fee schedule using observed payments by procedure code as weights.
2. Determine the share of costs that are subject to the fee schedule
The share is based on a combination of fields, such as procedure code, provider type,
and place of service, as reported on the NCCI Medical Data Call, to categorize payments
that are subject to the fee schedule.
The share is calculated as the greater of the percent of observed payments with a
maximum allowable reimbursement (MAR) or 75%. NCCI assumes no change for the
share of costs not subject to the fee schedule.
3. Estimate the price level change as a result of the revised fee schedule
NCCI research by David Colón and Paul Hendrick, “The Impact of Fee Schedule Updates
on Physician Payments” (2018), suggests that approximately 80% of the change in
maximum reimbursements for physician fee schedules is realized on payments impacted
by the change.

APPENDIX C-I
Analysis of the Nevada Medical Fee Schedule Updates, Effective February 1, 2020
In this analysis, NCCI relies primarily on two data sources:
Detailed medical data underlying the calculations in this analysis are based on NCCI’s
Medical Data Call for Nevada for Service Year 2018.
The share of benefit costs attributed to medical benefits is based on NCCI’s Financial Call
data for Nevada from Policy Years 2016 and 2017 projected to the effective date of the
benefit changes.
SUMMARY OF IMPACTS
The impacts from the fee schedule changes in Nevada, effective February 1, 2020, are summarized
below.
(A) (B) (C) = (A) x (B)
Impact on Share of Impact on
Type of Service Type of Service Medical Costs Medical Costs

Combined Impact on Medical Costs (D) = Total of (C) +1.4%
Medical Costs as a Share of Overall Costs (E) 50%

Refer to the appendix for the weighted‐average changes in MARs by physician practice category, the
share of costs subject to the fee schedule by type of service, and the weighted‐average change in MAR
by type of service.
ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS
Maximum reimbursement for dental services is also governed by the fee schedule in Nevada. The share
of these payments with a MAR makes up a small portion of medical costs. Therefore, the impact on
overall costs due to updating the fee schedule for these services is not anticipated to be material. As
such, any potential impact from this change will be realized in future loss experience and reflected in
subsequent NCCI loss cost filings in Nevada.

Loss Cost and Assigned Risk Rate Filing – March 1, 2021
NCCI applies an assigned risk loss cost multiplier to the voluntary market loss costs to convert
to assigned risk rates. This factor accounts for differences in the components included in the
assigned risk rates versus the voluntary market loss costs. The key components of the assigned
risk loss cost multiplier are the assigned risk differential, assigned risk expenses, and
uncollectible premium provision (UPP). Voluntary market loss adjustment expenses must also
be removed in the calculation, since the servicing carrier allowance already contemplates these
expenses for the assigned risk market. Thus, the assigned risk loss cost multiplier formula is as
follows:
𝐴𝑠𝑠𝑖𝑔𝑛𝑒𝑑 𝑅𝑖𝑠𝑘 𝐿𝑜𝑠𝑠 𝐶𝑜𝑠𝑡 𝑀𝑢𝑙𝑡𝑖𝑝𝑙𝑖𝑒𝑟 𝐴𝑅 𝐷𝑖𝑓𝑓𝑒𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑖𝑎𝑙 𝑉𝑜𝑙𝑢𝑛𝑡𝑎𝑟𝑦 𝐿𝐴𝐸 𝑃𝐿𝑅 𝑈𝑃𝑃
This filing proposes a –5.0% decrease in the assigned risk loss cost multiplier from 1.595 to
1.515. After applying the proposed change in the assigned risk loss cost multiplier to the
proposed change in voluntary loss costs, NCCI is proposing an overall average decrease of
–9.9% to the current assigned risk rate level. The detailed calculation can be found in Appendix
E – Section A.
The assigned risk loss cost differential reflects the fact that the collective experience for
employers in the assigned risk market is typically worse than that of employers in the voluntary
market. Loss ratios are calculated for both the (i) assigned risk market and (ii) voluntary market
by individual year as follows:
Loss ratio relativities are reviewed for ten individual years so that changes in the actual
differentials can be observed over a long period of time. When selecting the assigned risk
differential, the impact of additional premium that is already expected to be generated due to the
Assigned Risk Adjustment Program is also considered.
Based on this year’s analysis, NCCI is proposing to maintain the currently-approved assigned
risk differential of 1.300. The data underlying this selection is shown in Appendix E – Section B.
Nevada
Voluntary
Loss Cost and Assigned Risk Rate Filing – March 1, 2021
The provision for assigned risk expenses is based on the following components:
Servicing Carrier Allowance (SCA) – the market-based cost paid to the servicing carriers as
a percentage of final collected net premium that is intended to compensate for expenses
incurred in handling the assigned risk business. The average SCA is determined through a
competitive bid process and reflects items such as general expense, production expense
(excluding commission), loss adjustment expense and certain assessments.
Premium Taxes are not included in the Servicing Carrier Allowance
Assigned Risk Administration Expense – reflects NCCI Plan Administration Expenses,
NWCRA Pool Administration Expenses, and Servicing Carrier Other Expenses. It is selected
based on a review of expenses as a percentage of premium over the past ten years.
Average Commission – based on a weighted average of the most recently available two
policy years
Note that the expense components that are based on net premium are converted to a standard
premium basis excluding the impact of expense constants. Then the total assigned risk
expenses are used to determine the Permissible Loss Ratio (PLR):
In this filing, NCCI is proposing a 4.2% decrease to the current assigned risk expense provision.
The calculation of assigned risk expenses can be found in Appendix E – Sections C-E.
The purpose of the uncollectible premium provision is to make available sufficient funds in the
rate structure to offset the policy premium ultimately determined to be uncollectible. Based on a
review of historical ratios of ultimate gross premium to ultimate collected premium in the
assigned risk market, NCCI is proposing to maintain the currently approved uncollectible
premium provision of 1.015. The data underlying this selection is shown in Appendix E –
Section F.

The assigned risk expense provision including loss-based expenses is derived directly from the servicing carrier allowance, since this
is the market-based cost to the assigned risk plan to have the plan serviced. The average commission rate, the profit and contingency
provision, a provision for administrative expenses, and all taxes and assessments not included in the servicing carrier allowance must
be added to the allowance to derive an average expense provision as a percentage of standard premium excluding the expense constants.

Loss Cost and Assigned Risk Rate Filing – March 1, 2021
An expected loss rate for a classification is used to estimate the expected losses per $100 of
payroll during the experience rating period for risks within that classification. These expected
losses are then compared with the actual losses of a risk during the experience rating period to
determine the experience modification (mod).
The actual losses reflect the loss data during the experience rating period. Expected losses and
actual losses must be at the same level to enable an appropriate comparison for purposes of
the experience mod calculation. As such, the pure premiums underlying the proposed loss costs
are adjusted to reflect the average loss levels of the proposed experience rating period. This is
accomplished through the application of ELR factors to the proposed underlying pure premiums.
These ELR factors, calculated by hazard group, remove the effects of items such as: loss
development, expected losses above the State Accident Limit, a portion of medical-only losses,
benefit changes, trend, loss-based expenses, experience, and offsets for assigned risk
programs.
An adjustment is made to the ELR factors so that the resulting ELRs produce an expected
experience rating off-balance that equals the targeted experience rating off-balance used in the
calculation of the overall loss cost level change for the state (Appendix A–I).
In experience rating, losses are divided into primary and excess portions. For each claim, losses
below the split point are primary losses, while losses above the split point are excess losses.
The D-ratio represents the estimated ratio of expected primary losses to expected total losses
for a classification. The D-ratio is used to determine the expected primary losses to be used in
the experience mod calculation.
D-ratio factors are calculated separately for indemnity and medical losses by hazard group and
are based on the latest three years of Unit Statistical data. A comparison of the resulting D-ratio

The state reference point is calculated as the state average cost per case for the experience
rating period multiplied by 250. The state reference point serves to determine how much
credibility to give to the losses of an individual risk and as an index of claim cost differences by
state. The state per claim accident limitation shown on the Table of Weighting Values is 10% of
the state reference point.
The G value used in the ballast formula is the state reference point / 250,000, rounded to the
nearest 0.05.

Accident Year (AY): A loss accounting definition in which experience is summarized by the
calendar year in which an accident occurred.
Case Reserves: Reserves that an insurance company establishes for specific (known) claims.
DSR Level Premium: The standard earned premium that would result if business were written
at NCCI state-approved loss costs or rates instead of at the company rates. It is the common
benchmark level at which carriers report premium on the Financial Calls.
Frequency: The number of lost-time claims per million dollars of on-leveled, wage-adjusted
premium.
Incurred Claim Count: The total of all claims reported, whether open or closed, as of a given
valuation date. An indemnity claim is associated with a payment or case reserve for an
indemnity loss (i.e., lost work time-related benefits) and excludes claims closed without an
indemnity payment.
Lost-time Claims: Claims where an injured employee has received wage replacement benefits
due to a compensable workplace injury.
Limited Losses: Losses that result after the application of NCCI's large loss procedure—in
which individual large claims are limited to jurisdiction and year-specific large loss thresholds.
On-Level Factor: Applied to historical premiums and losses to adjust the historical experience
to reflect approved loss cost/rate level changes as well as statutory benefit level changes
implemented since that time.
Paid+Case Losses: The sum of paid losses and case reserves. Also known as “case incurred
losses.”
Paid Losses: Losses that an insurance company has paid as a result of claim activity.
Policy Year:
The one-year period beginning with the effective date or anniversary of a policy.
A premium and loss accounting definition in which experience is summarized for all policies
with effective dates in a given calendar year period.
Severity: The average cost per case (claim) calculated as ultimate losses divided by ultimate
