Calculation of Group Size Sample Clauses

Calculation of Group Size. Participating Class Members will be divided into categories depending on their size. Participating Class Member size is the number of employee participants covered by the Participating Class Member’s contract with Blue Cross, including former employees who continued to obtain Blue Cross health insurance through the Participating Class Member’s fully insured contract (“Contract Holders”). It does not include dependents or other beneficiaries. Participating Class Member size will be calculated as the total number of Contract Holders covered by the fully insured contract from the beginning of the month in which the Eligibility Date falls to the Eligibility Date. If several groups or subgroups have been combined into a single Participating Class Member for purposes of Distribution Eligibility, as described in Paragraph 20(A), above, then the calculation of group size will include each of the several groups or subgroups. This calculation, however, is based on the last Eligibility Date that any of the several groups or subgroups were fully insured with Blue Cross. Therefore, if a Participating Class Member has several subgroups that have been fully insured with Blue Cross at various times, then the calculation is based on the total number of that Participating Class Member’s Contract Holders during the month of the last Eligibility Date of any one of the subgroups was with Blue Cross. To ease the calculation and minimize the cost of the distribution, Participating Class Members will be placed into categories based on the number of Contract Holders. The distribution calculation will be determined based on the mid-point of each category. The groupings and their weighted amount of distribution are shown in attached Exhibit 1, subject to the maximum distribution provision in subparagraph G, below.
