Description: Discover the rapidly developing health and wellness industry during the Use of Health and Wellness Data in L&H Risk Assessment webcast. Our discussion includes the maximization of data usage through several different means, including current risk selection, creation of a dynamic ongoing assessment offering or substitution of traditional underwriting information to shorten the underwriting process. Come explore these different approaches as they affect the health and wellness industry. We will express the importance of a constantly changing data usage environment in order to better prepare insurers to maximize their data and drive health and wellness forward.

Description: The actuarial profession now has an official definition of a model with the introduction of ASOP 56. In this session, we'll examine how the definition of this model has expanded and what it means for our daily work as modelers. Have your practices as a modeler complied with ASOP 56 since it was drafted? What new practices will you need to put in place to work in accordance with the new ASOP? We'll answer these questions as we delve into ASOP 56 and how it applies to modeling and the processes that support it. Interpret ASOP 56 as it applies to their daily work. Identify areas of their current processes that could be enhanced to better comply with ASOP 56. Design documentation in accordance with ASOP 56.
