Description: Cover a variety of topics centered around the unsupervised learning technique called 'clustering'. The presenters will take you through a wide array of topics that range from 'What is Clustering?' to 'How can I use this technique to solve problems I didn't even know existed?' In the health care industry, everyone is looking for an edge in reducing total spend-cluster analysis finds the unambiguous in an ambiguous framework of results.

Description: This session will explore governance considerations for insurance carriers leveraging machine learning models. During the session, panelists will share insights on the evolving predictive model and AI regulatory landscape, as well as techniques for developing or enhancing AI governance frameworks that comply with emerging regulatory guidance.

Description: Modern actuarial work, being quite data intensive, provides many opportunities for actuaries to use the statistical skills that are part of their basic training. Furthermore, modern computing allows us to analyze vast quantities of data intensively, and each package will provide statistical 'answers' to any questions the actuary might ask of it.

Description: Dive into an overview of potential customer value propositions, trends in consumer acceptance and adoption, solving the data portability issue, potential impacts of emerging partner ships with OEMs and more within the auto insurance industry during our latest webcast. Experience interactive dialogue that will allow another dimension of thinking as industry experts provide insights and expertise. Throughout this webcast, you can expect developments in the personal lines automotive telematics-based insurance landscape that will develop a further understanding of the present and future of this industry.

Description: Renal disease is a very heterogenous medical condition whose end state is dialysis, a recurring cost intensive medical condition. Dialysis cost is one of the major medical cost drivers in USA. Insufficient and improper care management in the early stages of CKD (chronic kidney disease) leads to early incidence of end stage renal disease (ESRD) among CKD patients which not only leads to high medical costs, but also reflects poor health quality.

Description: Hear about some applications using quantile regression-derived individual and group claim distributions and how they may be used in various traditional health care modeling situations. The session will not focus on the technical use of quantile regression to obtain estimates of claim distributions, but more so is intended to focus on the uses of the distributions in actuarial modeling and the additive framework in assessing claims distributions. Presenters will show how actuaries can better assess risks by focusing on the individual- and group-specific claims distributions as opposed to traditional point-estimate-centric models.

Description: CMS has required hospitals to publish their chargemaster rates, cash discounts and negotiated rates as of January 1, 2021. Our panel is comprised of a data strategist, an executive from a large hospital system and an actuary.

Description: Have you ever struggled to make business decisions because your internal mortality studies lack credibility? Have you ever launched a new product or initiative and wanted to understand mortality risk before claims experience emerged? This session will discuss how predictive models can help actuaries enhance their traditional mortality studies with leading mortality leading indicators to be more nimble to market demands.

Description: Over the last 10 years, Artificial Intelligence (AI) healthcare foundation models have made tremendous strides when it comes to delivering highly accurate predictive results when compared to traditional models. This is especially true for models developed and trained on the ‘language’ of healthcare. When trained on healthcare data sequences (claims, EHR, CPT, ICD, pharmacy, lab, etc.), these models deliver far more accurate results as to WHAT beneficiary-level health events will occur and even WHEN they will occur.

Description: Modern Actuarial work, being quite data intensive, provides many opportunities for actuaries to use the statistical skills that are part of their basic training. Furthermore, modern computing allows us to analyze vast quantities of data intensively, and each package will provide statistical "answers" to any questions the actuary might ask of it. However, in this particular field, it is often worth taking a step back, and ensuring that we recall and consider the warnings that come with each of the statistical procedures we might attempt to use. This will allow us to ensure that we guard ourselves against drawing inappropriate conclusions, which could come back to haunt us later.
