Medical Professional Liability: Where Do We Go From Here?
This session will address the latest trends in Medical Liability Insurance and their impact. Have medical schools been successful in teaching better bedside manners to new graduates? Is saying “sorry” an effective way to reduce lawsuits? Are all physicians likely to be hospitalists? What are the long-term effects of pending Healthcare legislation and the Supreme Court decision in June? What are the real trends in frequency, severity, premiums, and available capacity? A very experienced and distinguished panel will discuss these key questions for this insurance segment from a practical point of view.

Link between Pricing and Reserving
This session will connect the pricing and reserving processes and link the roles played by pricing and reserving actuaries. This session will address the impact of pricing on reinsurance reserving, including how to recognize the issues and their implications, special Cat reporting issues, and identifying cycle changes through emergence testing and loss ratio estimations. Closing the feedback loop will involve spotting the issues and monitoring the results. The session will also focus on how to incorporate the output and indicated action steps from the reserving analyses into pricing.

Is That A Worm Or A Bot? - Cyber Liability Insurance
Cyber Liability and Network Security insurance are new coverage concepts that are evolving at an amazing pace every day. There are lots of questions surrounding these concepts such as: What are the risks and how do you insure them? What is the coverage and what types of businesses need to have this coverage? What does this mean for your company, be it a primary insurer, a reinsurer, a broker, or a consultant? And, most importantly, what does it mean to your clients?
Our speakers will present their views on current trends for this line of business as well as the pain points of the marketplace as they answer these and other important questions. The speakers are knowledgeable and among the veterans of this recent and fast growing coverage. They will share their experience from the point of view of a primary insurer and reinsurance company.

Intermediate/Advanced Exposure and Experience Rating
This session will build upon last year’s INTMD-1 and INTMD-2 materials and will presuppose familiarity with the basics of exposure and experience rating methodologies. This session will quickly review those materials, including the case study and puzzle solving that was presented, and extend that material. This extension will include the usage of more advanced techniques to address common excess rating challenges, trending issues for large claims, information lags, emergence testing, assessing confidence in benchmarking practices, and ultimately leading to enhanced underwriting cycle management.

Hot Topic in Workers Compensation
We will explore two critical elements faced by everyone involved in pricing and reserving workers compensation business; workers compensation excess loss development and pain management.
WC Excess Loss Development: The speaker will discuss the finding from the latest update to the NCCI WC Excess Loss Development Study. The NCCI analysis is based on a review of 26 years of large claims. The discussion will explore some of the interesting findings including the following:
Do large claims actually develop downward?
Do large losses develop differently for deductible business?
How do medical lump sum settlements effect large loss development?
The “Pain”ful Truth about Workers Compensation Medical Severity Trends: This speaker will discuss a hot topic in the workers compensation medical arena – pain management. Improper pain treatment drives up medical and indemnity claims costs. This fact has even reached the mainstream media, with myriad of stories reporting physicians over-prescribing high-potency prescription drugs to workers compensation claimants. This discussion will include opioid usage and its effect on claim duration, medical cost, abuse addiction and claim settlements.

Hands on: How to use Generalized Linear Models to Model Loss Triangles
This is a hands-on session. Bring your fully charged laptop, and have Excel and the Solver add-in activated.
Participants in this session will learn how to use a simple generalized linear model (GLM) to model a loss triangle. Like the chain ladder, a GLM captures accident year and development year trends, but it can also capture calendar year trends. You need to know your historical calendar year trends to understand how changing future trends can affect your pricing and reserving. This is a key risk in the current uncertain inflationary environment. By the end of this session, you will understand how the basic GLM model works for a loss triangle. No prior knowledge needed.

Price Change/Price Adequacy Measurement Systems
Most insurance companies attempt to capture the impact of price changes and quantify their effect on overall rate adequacy. However there is no standard method in use in the industry today. This presentation talk about the uses of price monitoring and will present several methods for calculating price change and price adequacy change metrics. The price metrics will be demonstrated and compared using a common sample set of policies. The session will wrap up with a brief discussion on the challenges and decisions one faces when setting up a price monitoring system.

This session will focus on the changes in regulatory reporting likely to have an impact on actuaries and will compare the new U.S. regulatory framework to the EU's proposed Solvency II.

The NCCI Experience Rating Plan: the Recent Revision, and a Fresh Perspective
This recent revision to the NCCI Experience Rating Plan is a major one, not seen for more than 20 years. The current Advanced Ratemaking exam syllabus has not yet reflected this update. Key features include indexing the primary and excess loss split point to inflation. This presentation will explain why this feature is crucial for the long-term health of the plan, and also discuss how the plan can be viewed from a predictive modeling perspective even if an alternative method is used to create the plan. This untraditional view allows us to ask several meaningful questions and help plan users find better ways to serve their customers.
