Portfolio Risk Adjusted Premiums - Matching PI's Loss Avoidance Probabilities

When matching $PI$'s probability of avoiding losses, $PRAPL0_{D}$ = 1.0662 (0.7500 + 2 * 0.1581)) and $PRAPL0_{E}$ = 1.7500 (0.7500 + 2 * 0.5000) are the Portfolio Risk Adjusted portions of policyholder's premiums $PI$ needs to pay each new insurer $D$ and $E$ if they are going to match $PI$'s probability of avoiding losses. $PI$'s payment must cover their risk of Claims Costs up to (PLR + 2 * $\sigma_{e_{N}}$) and include a 5% Profit Margin.If $PI$ pays $D$ [$E$] less than 106.62% [175.00% of its Earned Premiums to assume the Claims Costs for transferred policies, their probabilities of avoiding losses fall below $PI$'s. If $PI$ pays these amounts it becomes insolvent, incurring certain operating losses of 31.62% and 90.00% on the transfers. $PI$ still needs to do this for every $D$ and $E$ it needs to transfer all its Claims Costs. About 62.41% of $D$'s will have PLREs at, or below 0.8000, as will 53.98% of $E$'s, so they would receive much more than they need. But overpaying all these insurers is the only way $PI$ can adequately compensate all risk assuming insurers, for the risks they are assuming. But we know (See Section 9.2 that $D$ and $E$ have ``break-even`` probabilities of 0.7365 and 0.5793. If $PI$ adequately compensates all its risk assuming partners, 73.65% of $D$s and 57.93% of $E$s will be overcompensated.

Overpaying most smaller risk assuming insurers, and most risk assuming health care providers, is the price $PI$ pays to adequately compensate smaller, less efficient insurers, for assuming its Claims Costs. Yet another fatal, and uncorrectable, flaw in the theory of capitation financed health care.
