Description
Content

This eBook provides approaches to multi-state and multi-decrement modelling of health insurance contracts followed by estimation of premiums based on the equivalence principle. Sickness insurance is analysed via the collective risk model. We describe conventional health insurance products (e.g., critical illness and income protection), life cycle of a health insurance claim, stop loss insurance, deductibles and policy limits, forms of anti-selection and moral hazard.
