Explanation of above estimates (including long-range effect):
The Offices of the Insurance Commissioner (OIC) estimates that the enactment of SB84 would require the addition of one full time employee (FTE) starting at a base salary of $40,000. Benefits associated with the additional FTE are calculated at 33.5% of the base salary.
($40,000 x .335 = $13,400) for total initial increase in personal service expense of $53,400.
Modest increases in the overall costs for the FTE are included in the estimates for subsequent years to reflect potential increased insurance, benefits, annual increment, salary advancement, etc...).
$500 in annual overhead costs associated with the FTE have also been included.
The additional revenue generated by the passage of SB84 is estimated to be approximately $18,000 annually. This estimate assumes the registration of 90 additional PBMs in WV at a registration fee of $200 each.
($200 x 90 = $18,000).
Memorandum
To summarize the fiscal impact of the enactment of SB84, the OIC estimates an increase in both revenue and expense to OIC Fund 7152.
Revenues would increase an estimated $18,000 due to increased registration fees from the PBMs registering to do business in WV.
Expenses would also increase an estimated $53,900 due to the addition of one full time employee to oversee the registration of PBMs.
