Reinsurance Disclosures [Abstract] |
Reinsurance | Reinsurance The Company utilizes reinsurance agreements primarily to: (a) reduce required capital and (b) facilitate the acquisition or disposition of certain insurance contracts. Ceded reinsurance agreements permit the Company to recover a portion of its losses from reinsurers, although they do not discharge the Company’s primary liability as the direct insurer of the risks reinsured. In January 2023, the Company entered into two four-year reinsurance agreements with an unrelated reinsurer that allow it to reduce required capital and provide collateralized excess of loss reinsurance coverage on a portion of the Health Care Benefits segment’s group Commercial Insured business. Reinsurance recoverables (recorded as other current assets or other assets on the consolidated balance sheets) at December 31, 2022 and 2021 were as follows:

The impact of reinsurance on benefit costs for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 were as follows:
In millions | 2022 |  | 2021 |  | 2020
Direct | $ | 71,567 |  |  | $ | 64,414 |  |  | $ | 56,077 |
Assumed | 379 |  |  | 398 |  |  | 329 |
Ceded | (665) |  |  | (552) |  |  | (727) |
Net benefit costs | $ | 71,281 |  |  | $ | 64,260 |  |  | $ | 55,679 |
There is not a material difference between premiums on a written basis versus an earned basis. The Company also has various agreements with unrelated reinsurers that do not qualify for reinsurance accounting under GAAP, and consequently are accounted for using deposit accounting. The Company entered into these contracts to reduce the risk of catastrophic loss which in turn reduces the Company’s capital and surplus requirements. Total deposit assets and liabilities related to reinsurance agreements that do not qualify for reinsurance accounting under GAAP were not material as of December 31, 2022 or 2021.
