As actuaries, we are often called upon to evaluate the value of medical care. Are the ways the value equation is commonly constructed reflective of our aspirations as a society? What gravitational forces do we need to be aware of that perpetuate the status quo, mental biases and methodological pitfalls and how do we actively work to correct for them?

Description: Misalignment in value-based care approaches between payers and market segments (Medicare, Medicaid, self-funded employer groups, and commercial insurance) creates significant headwinds and friction for health care providers seeking to succeed in an environment that is moving toward more value-based care models and payment approaches. However, while multi-payer approaches in value-based care are critical to eliminating these misalignments, uptake in such programs has been lagging for a variety of reasons. Hear about lessons learned from a selection of specific multi-payer initiatives to understand what went well and what challenges were encountered in expanding these initiatives more broadly. You should be able to walk away from this session with an appreciation of the potential for multi-payer approaches and the challenges faced in gaining traction with them.

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.
