Sec. 1602.170-2  Community rate.

    (a) Community rate means a rate of payment based on a per member per 
month capitation rate or its equivalent that applies to a combination of 
the subscriber groups for a comprehensive medical plan carrier. 
References in this subchapter to ``a combination of cost and price 
analysis'' relating to the applicability of policy and contract clauses 
refer to comprehensive medical plan carriers using community rates.
    (b) Adjusted community rate means a community rate which has been 
adjusted for expected use of medical resources of the FEHBP group. An 
adjusted community rate is a prospective rate and cannot be 
retroactively revised to reflect actual experience, utilization, or 
costs of the FEHBP group.
