| 3.__Determination of assessment.__The board shall make |
reasonable efforts to ensure that each covered person is counted |
only once with respect to any assessment.__For that purpose, the |
board shall require each insurer that obtains excess or stop loss |
insurance to include in its count of covered persons all |
individuals whose coverage is insured, in whole or in part, |
through excess or stop loss coverage.__The board shall allow a |
reinsurer to exclude from its number of covered persons those who |
have been counted by the primary insurer or by the primary |
reinsurer or primary excess or stop loss insurer for the purpose |
of determining its assessment under this subsection. The board |
may verify each insurer's assessment based on annual statements |
and other reports determined to be necessary by the board.__The |
board may use any reasonable method of estimating the number of |
covered persons of an insurer if the specific number is unknown. |
