ICBC Rate Design Compliance Report Extension Proposal
On March 7, 2025, ICBC filed an application with the BCUC proposing that ICBC submit its next compliance report on Basic insurance rate design by December 31, 2029, instead of filing a report to the BCUC each year. ICBC also proposed that it report to the BCUC on an exception basis only until the next report. The BCUC has started a proceeding to review ICBC's application.

Financial Allocation Methodology Application
On July 12, 2024, the BCUC issued Order G-189-24 approving ICBC's January 31, 2024 application for proposed changes to its Financial Allocation Methodology (FAM). These changes enhance the objectivity, transparency and efficiency of the FAM in light of the introduction of Enhanced Care and other business changes. ICBC uses the BCUC-approved FAM to allocate its revenues and costs among its Basic, Optional and Non-insurance business segments in a fair and equitable manner.
