Credentialed Actuarial Science

Monte Carlo Cost Simulation

10,000-run simulations model future benefit costs under varying claim frequency, severity, and trend scenarios. Produces confidence intervals, percentile ranges, and tail risk quantification.

Stop-Loss Optimization

Calculate optimal specific and aggregate attachment points that balance premium costs against expected reimbursements. Models laser placements for known high-cost claimants.

Credibility-Weighted Trends

Apply actuarial credibility theory to blend plan-specific experience with industry benchmarks. Small populations get more industry weighting, large populations trust their own data.

Multi-Year Forecasting

Project costs 3-5 years forward incorporating demographic shifts, utilization trends, drug pipeline launches, and contract renewal scenarios. Supports long-term budgeting and M&A modeling.

Scenario Planning

Specialty Drug Impact Modeling

Model cost impact of adding/removing specialty medications from formulary. Simulate shift from brand to biosimilar, or adoption of new GLP-1 therapies across eligible population.

Plan Design Changes

Test deductible increases, copay tier shifts, or coinsurance adjustments. Predict member out-of-pocket costs, plan savings, and utilization changes before renewal implementation.

Carrier Bid Analysis

Validate carrier renewal quotes against your own actuarial projections. Identify inflated trend assumptions, excessive margin loads, or understated rebate pass-through.

Stop Guessing, Start Modeling

Actuarial precision replaces broker estimates and carrier sales pitches.
