Question:

How should the lapse risk for the basic health insurance be calculated under Solvency II?

Published: 24 April 2015

Answer:

Under Article 150 of the Solvency II Delegated Regulation health insurers should calculate a capital requirement for the lapse risk of the health insurance business. As the basic health insurance is a compulsory insurance without the possibility of early release, it has a negligible lapse risk.
