2. ROBUST ANALYTICS FOR HEALTH
PLANS
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act introduces a confounding number
of new fiscal responsibilities to the finance departments of health plans. Solving
this compliance conundrum in ways that also provide valuable insight into data
for strategic decision-making purposes has become a key goal of health plan
CFOs.
Three key compliance issues dominate Finance and Performance Management
objectives for health plans:
• Medical loss ratio analyses, which affect planning, budgeting and operational
reporting;
• Health Insurance Exchanges, in terms of tracking the cost of sale and
profitability in this new segment; and
• Reinsurance, risk corridors and risk adjustment, the transitional risk sharing
model creating plan profitability uncertainty due to adverse selection.

3. ROBUST ANALYTICS FOR HEALTH
PLANS
The analytics to attend to these issues requires the integration of general
ledger, internal cost accounting data and claims data -- the healthcare
transaction itself.
From a CFO standpoint, the goal is to do more with less -- reduce
enterprise cost by consolidating, simplifying and standardizing Finance IT
architecture, and optimize cash flow through working capital
improvements. The best decisions come from having greater visibility into
data -- a key aim to reduce earnings volatility and enhanced flexibility to
adapt to market changes.
During this Webcast, a distinguished panel of experts will explore the
challenges before health plan CFOs in this era of pronounced reform and
regulatory change. Panelists will present the current compliance
landscape, position ways to acquire and improve high-level analytics, and
introduce world-class Finance and Performance Management practices for
health plans.
