To improve the sharing of actuarial best practices in medical expense policies internationally, the
International Actuarial Association Health Section (IAAHS) has sponsored a survey to gather input on key
international actuarial practices (e.g., projection of claim costs) and issues (e.g., regulatory limits on
rating). The survey included two parts, first gathering data on the most important issues, and then
conducting interviews about the approaches used to address these items. The results of this survey will
be published and available to all members of the international community. A large number of IAAHS
members volunteered their time and efforts to help perform this survey.
