SEMINAR

14/15 Dec 2015 in Vienna

Health Insurance: From the Actuarial Background to Product Development

Organised by the EAA - European Actuarial Academy GmbH in cooperation with the Österreichische Förderungsgesellschaft der Versicherungsmathematik GmbH (ÖFdV GmbH)

In a broad sense, the expression health insurance denotes a large set of insurance products providing benefits in the case of need arising from either accident or illness, and leading to loss of income (partial or total, permanent or non-permanent), and/or expenses (hospitalization, medical and surgery expenses, nursery, rehabilitation, etc.).

In its framework we find traditional products, e.g. personal accident insurance, or sickness insurance with medical expense reimbursement and hospitalization benefits. More recently, new health insurance products have been proposed, for example Critical Illness covers and Long-term Care insurance (LTCI). In particular, LTCI products deserve great attention for various reasons. On the one hand, LTCI provides benefits of remarkable interest in the current demographic and social context. On the other hand, LTCI covers are “difficult” insurance products both from the insurer’s and the individual perspective.

Participants

The seminar is open to all interested persons, such as actuaries operating in both life and non-life insurance companies as well as in pension funds, consultants and supervisors. It is expected that the participants have an understanding of elementary calculus and basic probability theory.

During this seminar, you will not need a laptop.

Purpose and Nature

The seminar aims at providing the participants with a good understanding of the nature of health insurance products and related actuarial aspects, going into details on some particular and critical features and outlining recent developments.

To this purpose, the seminar first focuses on the individual need for health insurance covers, then moving to the type of benefits provided. Special attention is put on LTCI products and on possible packaging of health-related benefits with lifetime-related benefits, such as death benefits and life annuities. Besides the presentation of actuarial background, basic ideas and theory based on the book “Health Insurance. Basic actuarial models” (published in the EAA Series of Springer), numerical examples, concrete applications and implementation as well as risk management aspects will be shown. Every participant of the seminar will receive a free copy of the book.

More specifically, the following topics will be covered:

  • The individual need for health insurance
  • Health insurance products and related benefits
    • Accident insurance
    • Sickness insurance
    • Disability annuities and Income Protection
    • Critical Illness covers
    • Long-term Care Insurance (LTCI)
  • Combining Health and Life benefits
  • Premiums and reserves calculation
    • Ageing reserves in health insurance
    • Active and disabled reserves in Income Protection covers
    • Linking sickness benefits to an inflation index
  • Choice of biometrical bases and sensitivity analysis for LTCI products
    • Senescent disability inception rates
    • Extra-mortality of disabled people
  • Long-term contracts: examples, calculation, actuarial assumptions
  • Crucial aspects of Risk management for health insurance

Language

The language of the seminar will be English.
