Description: The hybrid Life/LTC and Life / Chronic Illness market is an exciting market that is in its relative infancy. There are many new companies that have just entered, or are considering entering, the hybrid market. Hybrid sales have grown tremendously over the past decade and are still going strong, with annual premium revenue estimated to be above $4 billion per year. The young issue ages for these products, relative to when LTC benefits are paid, means that the claim experience in the industry for these products is still very limited. Additionally, there are many moving parts to these products that present correlated risks and assumptions. The new entrants to the market, limited experience, and the interactions of risks create an environment equipped for vibrant discussions on the product structure, risks, assumptions, and considerations for modeling these hybrid products. The presenters would provide insight into each of these topics through a conceptual discussion, supported by observational data from case study projections and sensitivities.

Description: The Society of Actuaries' Long-Term Care Insurance Experience Committee is soliciting information on long-term care policies for both incidence lapse mortality and claim terminations from January 1, 2000 through December 31, 2011.

Description: Come check out opportunities and challenges associated with using predictive analytics for LTC. You'll learn how carriers are using predictive analytics to support a range of business functions, including: - Pricing - accelerate underwriting without jeopardizing the risk profile for your new products - Experience studies - enhance your understanding of block performance and capture more granular experience trends in your assumptions with less subjectivity - In-force management - facilitate insight-driven interactions that improve policyholder satisfaction and optimize operational costs Expect panelists to discuss the infrastructure required to deploy predictive analytics and the ways in which predictive analytics can help drive key outcomes, including, improved market competitiveness, enhanced understanding, improved efficiency, and better policyholder outcomes. They will also talk about key hurdles to adoption, and considerations for overcoming these hurdles.
