COVID-19: The Actuarial Challenge Today, Tomorrow, and Into the Future

How does a group, or an actuary, account for COVID-19 when determining capitation rates?  The reduced visits.  The surge.  COVID-19 morbidity today.  Long-term COVID-19 morbidity.  Non-COVID chronic disease care delayed.  Should COVID services be carved out?  How do you know if you're negotiating the right cap rate?  These questions and more will be asked and answered by our experts.

Virtual Care in Academic Health Systems: What a Difference a Year Makes!

Many believe one "silver lining" to the pandemic is the rapid deployment of telehealth and virtual patient interaction.  As academic health systems accelerate use of telehealth and virtual care, is this supporting the evolving business and clinical goals of the organization?  Does this enhance patient-centeredness or increase depersonalization of care?  Speakers will address their organization's virtual care approach during COVID-19, including deciding which conditions are appropriate for remote patient monitoring; the successes of virtual behavioral health; and issues surrounding payment parity.
