Cat Modeling is Here to Stay

April 22, 2008

Insurers Overly Focused On Cat Models, Says Expert | www.propertyandcasualtyinsurancenews.com

Primary insurers and reinsurers will demand that catastrophic modeling be used in order to justify their underwriting decisions of this type of insurance.  These newer models in conjunction with in-house capacity aggregation tools (Insurers now know where and how much of their capacity is in play) will guide their underwriting decisions from windstorm and earthquake to workers compensation in terrorism prone cities like DC and NYC.  The process is another way to spread the risk, so that any one insurer does not take a huge hit from any one event.  Using technology to spread risk will utimately decrease volatility in insurance markets.

CDHP's are not the "end all" to the growing healthcare problem in this country, but at least it is a beginning for the employer and employee to gain back some sort of control on the expenditure they have on insurance premiums.

Rising Costs

Some Factors Fueling Rising Healthcare Costs in 2006 | www.pwc.com

Analysis of PriceWaterhouseCooper's Report dated January 2006 and how it relates to current trends 

Large Group vs. Small Group market is very different

August 23, 2006

CDHP's and the market trend in NJ, NY & PA | www.hctproject.com

To compare solely on the basis of large group trends vs. small group trends would be unfair as the needs of the small group business owner are different.

Not reflective of current trend

We need to look at the overall picture and not just the current numbers.
