Treatment and rehabilitation costs arising from accidents (whether at work, at home, on the sports field or as a result of a car accident). Elective surgery and cancer care in private facilities and private specialist care; the un subsidised portion of GP visits and prescriptions. Who pays for these services? Tax payers ACC levy payers (e.g. employers, employees, vehicle licensees etc) Private individuals, out of their own pockets or via health insurance
6 NZ health insurance market largely a free market no specific health insurance regulation or restrictions no incentives for individuals or employers purchasing health insurance ability to design and price insurance products Exceptions to design and pricing of health insurance products The Human Rights Act Certain medical services can only be provided by the public health system, including acute accident and emergency treatment and maternity care. Health insurer liable for reimbursement of the medical treatment costs not health of the insured Health insurance typically covers elective surgery, specialist consultations and tests, day to day doctors or pharmacy costs.

9 Key issues facing health insurers
10 Key issues Claim cost escalation and resulting issues of premium affordability. Retaining better (priced) risks, as high levels of premium increase result in selective lapsation. Low interest rates. Volume of new sales. Information imbalance between insurer and insured. Increasing pressure on public sector health budget. Ageing population and increasing life expectancy. Technology improvements. Changing health infra structure.
11 Claim cost escalation 16% Cost of a hospital & specialist policy for a 65+ as a proportion of average weekly income 14% 12% 10% 8% 6% 4% 2% 0%
12 Claim cost escalation
13 Retaining better (priced) risks
14 Retaining better (priced) risks
15 Low interest rates 1/01/07 1/05/07 1/07/07 1/09/07 1/11/07 1/03/07 1/01/08 1/03/08 1/05/08 1/07/08 1/09/08 1/11/08 1/01/09 1/03/09 1/05/09 1/07/09 1/09/09 1/11/09 1/01/10 1/03/10 1/05/10 1/07/10 1/09/10 1/11/10 1/01/11 1/03/11 1/05/11 1/07/11 1/09/11 1/11/11 1/01/12 1/03/12 1/05/12 1/07/12 1/09/12 10 year government bond yields United States Germany Italy Spain New Zealand
16 Volume of new sales The impact of a reduction in sales volumes: More difficult to recoup fixed acquisition costs, thereby impacting profitability. The duration in force of a health insurance portfolio will increase.
17 Information imbalance between insurer and insured Significant reduction in costs of genetic testing Expect increased prevalence If genetic testing is carried out, an insurer will want to minimise their risk by taking the information from the test into account. Potential increase the risk of non disclosure and information imbalance A principle of insurance is that risks are pooled
18 Increasing pressure on public sector health budget Health insurance approximately 5% of total health expenditure Small change in public health spend can have a big impact of claims costs of health insurer
19 Ageing population and increasing life expectancy 400,000 New Zealand population projection by age band , , , , , Base 2041 Projection 100,000 50, and over
20 Technology improvements Price and utilisation Examples TAVI, PET/CT Robotics
21 Changing health infra structure Shift out of traditional hospitals E.g. day case surgery
22 Insurer responses
23 Insurer responses Premium Increases Consumer Driven Insurer Directed Partial selfinsurance Downgrade paths Contracting Narrow network plans Open referrals Wellness No/Low Claim Reward
24 Consumer driven Partial selfinsurance Co payments Excesses Downgrade paths Less cover with lower premium
25 Quickly back to where we started Temporary relief only
26 Insurer directed responses Narrow network plans Contracting Open referral Wellness No/low claim discounts Panel of preferred providers for policyholders to choose from Higher co payments if you move outside that panel Approved providers for some services No cover or capped reimbursement for non contracted providers GP provides an open referral Policyholder selects specialist from list provided by insurer Objective is to improve overall health status and hence lower claims costs Disease Management to health & fitness programs Incentives for healthier lives to stay and reduce average claims costs 80% of claims cost are from 8% of members
27 What are NZ insurers doing? Reasonable Charges means charges for Healthcare Services determined by Southern Cross and based on Southern Cross ongoing review of Health Services Provider charges for a particular Healthcare Service, Southern Cross claims statistics and its knowledge of national and regional New Zealand health markets.
28 Is it working? Bled dry trying to stay well When budgeting for healthcare, more money is never enough NZ Herald 16 November 2012
29 Healthy is merely the slowest rate at which one can die Unknown Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex... It takes a touch of genius and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction. Albert Einstein
