Insurance and contractholder liabilities expected to be paid within one year are classified as current.
Unpaid Claims and Claim Expenses – Cigna Healthcare
This liability reflects estimates of the ultimate cost of claims that have been incurred but not reported, expected development on reported claims, claims that have been reported but not yet paid (reported claims in process), and other medical care expenses and services payable that are primarily comprised of accruals for incentives and other amounts payable to health care professionals and facilities.
The total of incurred but not reported liabilities plus expected development on reported claims and reported claims in process was $4.4 billion at March 31, 2025 and $5.4 billion at March 31, 2024. The decrease was driven by the HCSC transaction.
Activity, net of intercompany transactions, in the unpaid claims liability for the Cigna Healthcare segment was as follows:

As of December 31, 2024, March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, includes $983 million and $1,378 million, $823 million classified as liabilities of businesses held for sale, respectively.
Reinsurance and other amounts recoverable reflect amounts due from reinsurers and policyholders to cover incurred but not reported and pending claims of certain business for which the Company administers the plan benefits without any right of offset. See Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on reinsurance.
Variances in incurred costs related to prior years' unpaid claims and claim expenses that resulted from the differences between actual experience and the Company's key assumptions were as follows:

Favorable prior year development in both years primarily reflects lower than expected utilization of medical services as compared to our assumptions.
Future Policy Benefits
Cigna Healthcare

Future policy benefits for the Cigna Healthcare segment were primarily related to the businesses divested to HCSC on March 19, 2025. Excluding the divestiture, changes in the future policy benefits for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024 were not material.
Other Operations
The weighted average interest rates applied and duration for future policy benefits in Other Operations, consisting of annuity and life insurance products, were as follows:
As of
March 31, 2025March 31, 2024
Interest accretion rate 5.64 %5.64 %
Current discount rate 5.30 %5.16 %
Weighted average duration 10.8 years11.3 years

Obligations for annuities represent discounted periodic benefits to be paid to an individual or groups of individuals over their remaining lives. Other Operations' traditional insurance contracts, which are in run-off, have no premium remaining to be collected; therefore, future policy benefit reserves represent the present value of expected future policy benefits, discounted using the current discount rate, and the remaining amortizable deferred profit liability.
Future policy benefits for Other Operations includes deferred profit liability of $359 million as of March 31, 2025 and $379 million as of March 31, 2024. Future policy benefits excluding deferred profit liability were $3.0 billion as of March 31, 2025, $3.1 billion as of March 31, 2024, $2.9 billion as of December 31, 2024, and $3.2 billion as of December 31, 2023. Undiscounted expected future policy benefits were $4.3 billion as of March 31, 2025 and $4.4 billion as of March 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, $0.9 billion and $1.0 billion, respectively, of the future policy benefit reserve was recoverable through treaties with external reinsurers.
Contractholder Deposit Funds
Contractholder deposit fund liabilities within Other Operations were $6.3 billion as of both as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 and $6.5 billion as of both March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. Approximately 38% of the balance is reinsured externally. Activity in these liabilities is presented net of reinsurance in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Changes in contractholder deposit fund liabilities generally relates to withdrawals and benefit payments, partially offset by deposits and interest credited.
As of March 31, 2025, the weighted average crediting rate, net amount at risk and cash surrender value for contractholder deposit fund liabilities not effectively exited through reinsurance were 3.20%, $2.8 billion and $2.8 billion, respectively. The comparative amounts as of March 31, 2024 were 3.33%, $3.0 billion and $2.8 billion, respectively. More than 99% of the $4.0 billion liability as of both March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024 not reinsured externally is for contracts with guaranteed interest rates of 3% - 4%, and approximately $1.2 billion as of both March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024 represented contracts with policies at the guarantee. As of both March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, $1.2 billion was 50-150 basis points ("bps") above the guarantee and the remaining $1.6 billion represented contracts above the guarantee that pay the policyholder based on the greater of a guaranteed minimum cash value or the actual cash value. As of both March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, more than 90% of these contracts have actual cash values of at least 110% of the guaranteed cash value.
Market Risk Benefits
Liabilities for market risk benefits ("MRBs") consist of variable annuity reinsurance contracts in Other Operations. These liabilities arise under annuities and riders to annuities written by ceding companies that guarantee the benefit received at death and, for a subset of policies, also provide contractholders the option, within 30 days of a policy anniversary after the appropriate waiting period, to elect minimum income payments. The Company's capital market risk exposure on variable annuity reinsurance contracts arises when the reinsured guaranteed minimum benefit exceeds the contractholder's account value in the related underlying mutual funds at the time the insurance benefit is payable under the respective contract. The Company receives and pays premium periodically based on the terms of the reinsurance agreements.

The following table presents the net amount at risk and the average attained age of contractholders (weighted by exposure) for contracts assumed by the Company. The net amount at risk is the amount the Company would have to pay to contractholders if all deaths or annuitizations occurred as of the earliest possible date in accordance with the insurance contract. The Company should be reimbursed in full for these payments unless the Berkshire reinsurance limit is exceeded, as discussed further in Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
