Description: The 2019 Long-Term Care (LTC) Medical Symposium was a one-day conference that extracted the thinking of leading experts on historical and future trends that will influence LTC insurance (LTCI) claim expectations. The symposium focused on the ideas from experts outside of the LTCI industry for the explicit purpose of gathering fresh perspectives on the issues that LTCI companies face, such as expected timing of new claims onset, length of claim, life expectancy and cost of care. The 2019 symposium built on and complemented the first annual symposium held in 2018. The focus in 2019 was on aging of the brain and how technology will impact the future of LTC caregiving. The symposium is not intended to quantify historical or future trends or to be prescriptive or specific about long-term care actuarial assumptions. Rather, the symposium aims to provide the long-term care actuary with environmental context for considering morbidity and other macro factors that may impact LTC experience in the long term.

Description: On May 5, 2016, the Long-Term Care Valuation (B) Work Group of National Association of Insurance Commissioners’ (NAIC’s) Health Actuarial (B) Task Force’s Long-Term Care Actuarial Working Group (LTCAWG) requested recommendations from the American Academy of Actuaries (Academy)1 and the Society of Actuaries Research Institute (SOA)2 to replace the mortality and lapse bases for statutory minimum reserves. A copy of the request is included in Appendix 1 to this report. The Academy and SOA created a Long-Term Care Valuation Work Group (Work Group) to address the request. The Work Group is chaired by Warren Jones, the Mortality Subgroup is led by Bruce Stahl, and the Lapse Subgroup is led by Bob Yee.
