Description: The time has arrived for ASU 2018-12, otherwise known as Long-Duration Targeted Improvements (LDTI). For health insurance products, the ASU will require considerable efforts to make the necessary changes to valuation systems, procedures, assumptions, and/or methodologies in order to be in compliance. This session is designed to cover LDTI implications specific to carriers of long-term care and supplemental health products, including changes to how attained age rated products will be approached, allocating and discounting the claim liability (IBNR), and how the treatment of Profits Followed by Losses (PFBL) will evolve under LDTI. By attending this session, you will be able to: • Understand LDTI’s key impacts on long-duration health insurance products. • Recognize the treatment of attained age rated products under LDTI. • Comprehend the requirements of allocating the claim liability to cohorts. • Grasp the requirements pertaining to the discounting of the claim liability. • Understand how PFBL will evolve under the new standard.

Description: The supplemental health market is changing. Carriers are looking to simplify claims processes, proactively identify missed claim opportunities, and reduce barriers to claim payment. As a result, more and more companies are looking at ways to use data from medical diagnostic and treatment codes. Take an introductory look at the most used medical codes—ICD (9 and 10), CPT, and HCPCS. Discuss the history and purpose of each code system and decipher the structure. Dive into how medical codes can be used in the supplemental health market (automatic claims adjudication, fraud identification, pricing), as well as common pitfalls encountered when using medical coding. By attending this session, you will have a basic understanding of the different types of medical codes, their actuarial applications, and common pitfalls.
