Description: In the time since the original proposal to move healthwriting companies from the blue blank to the orange blank, there have been several incremental updates to the blue blank by the NAIC Blanks Working Group to integrate portions of the orange blank into the blue blank. Meanwhile, the NAIC RBC Working Group has issued their proposal to change the health test for comment and appear to be moving forward with the proposal to revise the health test. This would obligate companies that write predominantly health business onto the orange blank rather than the blue blank, which they have historically used for reporting.

Hear observations about companies that have opted to 'take the plunge' and move to the orange blank ahead of the revised health test as well as companies that have opted to remain on the blue blank and incrementally update as new requirements are integrated into the Blue blank. By attending the session, you will be able to: • Understand the context of the initiative to revise the NAIC health test. • Summarize the recent changes to the blue blank implemented by the Blanks Working Group that integrate portions of the orange blank into the blue blank. • Summarize the upcoming proposed changes to the blue blank by the Blanks Working Group that integrate additional portions of the orange blank into the blue blank. • Summarize the current status of the Health RBC Working Group proposal to revise the health test. • Provide industry perspective on companies that have opted to move to the orange blank ahead of the revised health test and companies that have opted to remain on the blue blank until the NAIC requires it.

Description: Internationally, Health care (HC) falls under the General Insurance umbrella along with the Property-Casualty (PC) lines. Anyone who has studied reserving in both HC and PC will understand why —concepts and techniques are very similar except that in health care we use 24 to 36 months of data vs.. the 24 to 36 years used in long tail lines like Workers Compensation. As such, PC actuaries have historically put much more effort into reserving and the development of reserving techniques than we have in HC. Learn how these techniques can add value to HC reserves by improving accuracy and/or providing additional insights into the business. By attending this session, you will: - Understand basics of standard Property Casualty reserving techniques such as Frequency/Severity Method, Bornhuetter-Ferguson Method and catastrophe loading. - Take away some ideas on where these techniques can add value in your own reserve estimates. - Be introduced to stochastic reserving concepts.
