OAR 836-031-0290: Specific Standards for Mortality

(1) Except as provided in section (2) of this rule, the mortality basis used shall be according to any table (but without use of selection factors) permitted by law for the valuation of whole life insurance issued on the same date as the health insurance contract. (2) Other mortality tables adopted by the NAIC and also adopted by the Director may be used in the calculation of the minimum reserves if appropriate for the type of benefits and if approved by the Director. The request for such approval must include the proposed mortality table and the reason that the standard specified in section (1) of this rule is inappropriate.
