For use in this ASOP, the value of all amounts paid or payable under a health benefit plan, determined to be a liability with an incurral date within the contract period or other appropriate period, as of the valuation date. It includes payments on all claims as of the valuation date plus a reasonable estimate of unpaid claims liabilities and, for certain coverages such as long-term care and long-term disability, projection of future payments on reported claims. This definition is different than an alternate definition of incurred claims used for a risk-bearing entity’s income statements, for which incurred claims include payments on all claims between the prior valuation date and the current valuation date plus the estimate of unpaid claims liabilities as of the current valuation date less the estimate of unpaid claims liabilities as of the prior valuation date.
