With respect to each type of risk covered by this subsection, the insurer shall annually certify by January 30 to the director for the preceding calendar year, on a form acceptable to the director, that the insurer did not have when the risks were written credible experience to establish a rating class for the specific types of risks. The insurer or rate service organization on the insurer's behalf shall file a rate for the specific risks with the director pursuant to section 20-385 when either of the following occurs: (a) The insurer's written premiums for any specific risk covered by this subsection exceed twenty-five per cent of the insurer's total annual written premium in this state and the insurer has issued contracts for five or more homogeneous risks covered by this subsection in this state in any consecutive three year period, unless an insurer demonstrates to the director that its experience under this subsection does not produce sufficient data to satisfy the requirements of subdivision (b) of this paragraph. (b) The number of specific risks covered by this subsection and written by the insurer in a specific class meet the standards set forth in the actuarial standard of practice 25 applying to credibility for rate making purposes as adopted by the actuarial standards board as of January 1, 1997. B. This article does not apply to hospital service or medical service corporations, investment companies, mutual benefit associations or fraternal beneficiary associations.
