AHIP AHM-520 Exam - Topic 5 Question 66 Discussion

Actual exam question for AHIP's AHM-520 exam

Question #: 66
Topic #: 5

Under the alternative funding method used by the Flair Company, Flair assumes financial responsibility for paying claims up to a specified level and deposits the funds necessary to pay these claims into a bank account that belongs to Flair. However, an insurer, which acts as an agent of Flair, makes the actual payment of claims from this account. When claims exceed the specified level, the insurer pays the balance from its own funds. No state premium tax is levied on the amounts that Flair deposits into this bank account.

From the following answer choices, choose the name of the alternative funding method described.

ARetrospective-rating arrangement

I’m not so sure about that, could be a reserve-reduction arrangement too.

Definitely a retrospective-rating arrangement, I think.

Wait, no state premium tax? That seems too good to be true.

I don't recall the specifics, but I know that the premium-delay arrangement is definitely not it.

I'm a bit confused about the terms, but I feel like the reserve-reduction arrangement could fit, too.

I remember practicing a question similar to this, and I think the minimum-premium plan might be the right choice here.

I've got this! A and E are the compilation errors - you can't assign a double to a float without an explicit cast, and the F suffix on a float literal is not allowed in Java.

I remember something about needing to enable multicast-direct to optimize streaming, but I'm not sure if that covers everything.

I'm thinking it might be social disapproval that's not an unconditioned punisher, because it feels more learned than instinctual.

Ah, the old 'you pay, I'll play' funding method. Gotta love these corporate shenanigans - it's like a game of financial hide-and-seek, but with far more paperwork.

This has got to be a retrospective-rating arrangement. Flair is assuming the financial responsibility, and the insurer is just acting as an agent - that's the textbook definition.

That's correct! Flair assumes financial responsibility up to a specified level and the insurer pays the balance when claims exceed that level.

I'm not entirely sure, but the description of Flair making deposits and the insurer handling claims makes me lean towards a premium-delay arrangement. Sounds like they're deferring the premium payments.

Yes, that makes sense. Flair assumes financial responsibility but delays the actual payment of claims.

The fact that no state premium tax is levied on Flair's deposits makes me think this is a reserve-reduction arrangement. They're avoiding taxes on that money.

I'm not sure, but I think it could also be D) Minimum-premium plan, as Flair assumes financial responsibility up to a specified level.

I agree with Lisbeth, because in this method, the insurer pays the balance when claims exceed the specified level.

This sounds like a minimum-premium plan to me. Flair is responsible for claims up to a certain level, and the insurer picks up the rest - that's the definition of a minimum-premium plan.
