Description: Think about the last time you revamped your organization's case setup and billing processes. If nothing is coming to mind, you're not alone.

Description: Because of the short-term nature of most health insurance products, the sophistication of insurers’ capital modeling tends to lag that of longer tailed life insurers. Additionally, some health insurers treat required capital modeling as a compliance exercise. However, there is considerable value to insurers who take more thoughtful approaches to capital modeling and integrate their capital modeling outcomes into the strategic decision-making process. Gain an overview of common required capital measures, including the advantages and disadvantages of each, and see a demonstration on how some capital measures are deficient for strategic decision-making. In the second half of the session, you will examine a case study of the considerations, design, implementation, challenges and outcomes of integrating a complex economic capital model into the strategic decision-making process.

Description: "Most patients enter the health care system through their primary care provider or through the Emergency Room or an Urgent Care Center. How an emergency room is structured, managed, and provides care is one of the major forces impacting the total cost of care.
