Computer apparatus and method for generating documentation using a computed value for a claims cost affected by at least one concurrent, different insurance policy for the same insured
First Claim
1. A method for using an apparatus to process digital electrical signals to generate documentation using a computed value for claims cost affected by at least one concurrent, different insurance policy, the method including the steps of:
- providing an apparatus including a digital electrical computer having a processor, the processor electrically connected to an input device, for receiving input data and for converting the input data into input electrical signals, and to a printer, for converting output electrical signals into printed documentation, the processor being programmed to control the apparatus in changing the input electrical signals to produce the output electrical signals in accordance with said method;
receiving, as part of the input data, actuarial assumptions defining a first insurance policy for a first risk having a claims cost affected by at least a second concurrent insurance policy for a respectively different risk for an insured person;
whereinthe changing of the input electrical signals into the output electrical signals includes computing a first value for the claims cost for the first insurance policy and computing a second value representing an extent to which the claims cost for the first insurance policy is influenced by the second insurance policy; and
using the first value to generate printed insurance documentation at said printer.

Abstract
A method for using a digital electrical apparatus to electrically process signals in generating output for insurance documentation for a first insurance policy for a first risk having a claims cost reflecting: a concurrent second insurance policy for a second risk, the second risk being different from the first, the policies being for the same insured person, and the second policy affecting a claims cost of the first policy; the method including the steps of: in a digital electrical computer apparatus comprising a digital computer having a processor, the processor electrically connected to a memory device for storing and retrieving operations including machine-readable signals in the memory device, to an input device for receiving input data and converting the input data into input electrical data, to a visual display unit for converting output electrical data into output having a visual presentation, to a printer for converting the output electrical data into printed documentation, wherein the processor is programmed to control the apparatus to receive the input data and to produce the output data by steps including: inputting actuarial assumptions defining the first insurance policy; and computing a value of a specific financial attribute of the first insurance policy; the method further including the step of inserting the value of the financial attribute in the first insurance policy and other printed documentation related to the first insurance policy.
