						<section id="A"><p><span class="prefix-number">A.</span> Each insurance product purchased by the Board or <span class="dictionary">contract</span> for administrative <span class="dictionary">services</span> related to a self-funded product shall provide for an accounting to the Board not later than 120 days after the end of each product year. For an insurance product, the accounting shall include (i) the amounts of premiums actually accrued under the policy during the policy year, (ii) the total amount of all claim charges incurred during the policy year, and (iii) the amount of fees accrued under the policy during the year plus the total amount of all claim charges incurred during the policy year. For a self-insured product, the accounting shall include the total amount of all claim charges incurred during the product year, the total amount of third-<span class="dictionary">party</span> administrator expenses, and the total amount of other charges for administrative <span class="dictionary">services</span>. <a id="paragraph-253025" class="section-permalink" href="https://vacode.org/51.1-1182/#A"><i class="fa fa-link"/></a></p></section>
						<section id="B"><p><span class="prefix-number">B.</span> Any portion of the excess of the total of clause (i) of subsection A over clause (iii) of subsection A may, with the approval of the Board, be held by the insurance <span class="dictionary">company</span> in an advance premium deposit reserve to be used by the <span class="dictionary">company</span> for charges under the policy only. Any expenses incurred by the Board in connection with the administration of the <span class="dictionary">disability benefits</span> provisions of the <span class="dictionary">program</span> may be deducted from the advance premium deposit reserve. The advance premium deposit reserve shall bear interest at a rate to be determined in advance of each policy year by the insurance <span class="dictionary">company</span>. The rate shall be subject to Board approval as being consistent with the rates generally used by the <span class="dictionary">company</span> for similar funds held under other disability insurance policies. Any portion of the excess not held by the insurance <span class="dictionary">company</span> shall be held by the Board to be used for charges under the policy only. If the Board determines that the advance premium deposit reserve, together with any portion of the excess accumulated and held by the Board, has attained an amount estimated to make satisfactory provision for adverse fluctuations in future charges under the policy, any further excess shall inure to the benefit of the Commonwealth and its political subdivisions as determined by the Board. <a id="paragraph-253026" class="section-permalink" href="https://vacode.org/51.1-1182/#B"><i class="fa fa-link"/></a></p></section>
