Description: Court is in session and you're the jury! Follow along as challenging aspects of actuarial professionalism are explored in a court-like setting. Deliberate based on what you already know from your own experience, as well as what you learn in this session. Challenge yourself to evolve and diversify your thinking as new trials are presented in the form of case studies. Then, deliver your verdict accordingly. Who says the actuarial professionalism is an open and shut case? Let's interact together to be innovative while ensuring that we uphold our professionalism standards. There will be a mix of new and updated cases. There will be one case repeated from the 2021 ImpACT Annual Meeting.

Description: ACA risk adjustment is intended to "bridge the gap" between allowed rates and actuarial rates. If risk adjustment methodology is not bridging that gap & becomes an additional input to pricing formulae, it is not serving its intended purpose.
