Health care
Every human being at some point in their lives will require access to health care – and as Canada’s health landscape continues to evolve in terms of costs, demographics, demand, and treatment options – actuaries play a key role in assisting employers and governments alike in managing their programs to support Canadians.
“Designing sustainable benefit packages for businesses and employees alike”
Using a blend of mathematics, statistics, and financial theory, actuaries working in the health-care industry highlight and help mitigate financial risk. Together, they:
-
Establish insurance premium rates based upon reported health data
- Evaluate the cost of medical programs
- Help employers develop comprehensive benefit programs, including medical and dental
- Ensure benefit programs are sustainable and that employees are extracting high-value benefits for the right cost
Canadians can rely on the expertise of actuaries to provide people with adequate and financially sound health-care coverage.
