33-2-1903. RBC reports.
(1) Each domestic insurer shall, on or before each March 1 filing date, prepare and submit to the commissioner a report of its RBC levels as of the end of the previous calendar year in a form and containing information as required by the RBC instructions. In addition, each domestic insurer shall file its RBC report:
(a) with the NAIC in accordance with the RBC instructions; and
(b) with the insurance commissioner in any state in which the insurer is authorized to do business if that insurance commissioner has notified the insurer of the request in writing, in which case the insurer shall file its RBC report not later than the later of:
(i) 15 days from the receipt of notice to file its RBC report with that state; or
(ii) the March 1 filing date.
(2) A life and disability insurer's RBC must be determined in accordance with the formula set forth in the RBC instructions. The formula must take into account and may adjust for the covariance between:
(a) the risk with respect to the insurer's assets;
(b) the risk of adverse insurance experience with respect to the insurer's liabilities and obligations;
(c) the interest rate risk with respect to the insurer's business; and
(d) all other business risks and other relevant risks as are set forth in the RBC instructions and determined in each case by applying the factors in the manner set forth in the RBC instructions.
(3) A property and casualty insurer's RBC must be determined in accordance with the formula set forth in the RBC instructions. The formula must take into account and may be adjusted for the covariance between:
(a) asset risk;
(b) credit risk;
(c) underwriting risk; and
(d) all other business risks and other relevant risks set forth in the RBC instructions and determined in each case by applying the factors in the manner set forth in the RBC instructions.
(4) A health organization's RBC must be determined in accordance with the formula set forth in the RBC instructions. The formula must take into account and may be adjusted for the covariance between:
(a) asset risk;
(b) credit risk;
(c) underwriting risk; and
(d) all other business risks and other relevant risks set forth in the RBC instructions and determined in each case by applying the factors in the manner set forth in the RBC instructions.
(5) An excess of capital over the amount produced by the risk-based capital requirements contained in this part and the formulas, schedules, and instructions referenced in 33-2-1906 through 33-2-1913 is desirable in the business of insurance. Accordingly, insurers should seek to maintain capital above the RBC levels required by this part. Additional capital is used and useful in the insurance business and helps to secure an insurer against various risks inherent in or affecting the business of insurance and not accounted for or only partially measured by the risk-based capital requirements contained in this part.
(6) If a domestic insurer files an RBC report that in the judgment of the commissioner is inaccurate, the commissioner shall adjust the RBC report to correct the inaccuracy and shall notify the insurer of the adjustment. The notice must contain a statement of the reason for the adjustment. An RBC report adjusted as provided in this subsection is referred to as an adjusted RBC report.
