1 Underwriting Critical Illness Insurance: A model for coronary heart disease and stroke Presented to the 6th International Congress on Insurance: Mathematics and Economics. July Lisbon, Portugal. Angus Macdonald Howard Waters Chessman Wekwete Department of Actuarial Mathematics and Statistics Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh 1

2 Abstract The paper presents a model for assessing premium ratings for applicants of stand-alone Critical Illness insurance. Using Markov models, and Norberg s differential equations we calculate the costs of insurance for applicants, considering the specific risk factors for coronary heart disease and stroke; sex, smoking, body mass index, diabetes, hypertension, and hypercholesterolaemia. We discuss the application of this model to quantifying the impact of genetic information on the insurance costs. 2

3 Background Swiss Re funding Impact of genetic information on life insurance Breast & Ovarian Cancers Coronary Heart Disease and Stroke Critical Illness Insurance 3

4 Breast & Ovarian Cancers Two single genes BRCA 1 & BRCA 2 Account for 5% - 10% of BC/OC cases Increased risk = 40(?) Refs: Macdonald, Waters & Wekwete I& II Scandinavian Actuarial Journal, 2003 Conclusions for CI underwriting: Family History: family size/structure is important Genetic information does not add much to family history 4

5 CHD & Stroke - Objectives Impact of genetic information Multifactorial disorder Diabetes Hypertension Hypercholesterolaemia Environmental factors Underwriting models Critical Illness Insurance Life assurance 5

6 Risk Factors Age. Fixed; Sex, Smoking status, BMI. Cholesterol: Total Cholesterol (TC) in mg/dl Stage 0: TC < 200 Stage 1: 200 TC < 240 Stage 3: 240 TC Blood pressure: (sbp and dbp) in mm/hg Category dbp sbp Optimal/Normal High Normal [85, 90) [130, 140) H tension Stage I [90, 100) [140, 160) H tension Stages II-III Diabetes: Blood Sugar Level (bsl) in mg/dl. Diabetes: 126 bsl 6

7 Model for CHD & Stroke Time (Age) inhomogeneous Markov model: Separate parameterisations for: Sex (2): Smoking (2): BMI (3) 24 transient states: Blood pressure (4): Cholesterol (3): Diabetes (2) Require transition intensities between these. 3 absorbing states: CHD, Stroke, Dead Require transition intensities to these. Data requirements! 7

15 Application to CI Insurance Extend CHD and Stroke model for other CI claim causes. Cancers, Kidney failure, minor claim causes. Type 1 diabetes and Type 2 diabetes modelled separately. Allow for 28 day survival for claim eligibility. 36 transient states and 4 absorbing states. 15

20 Impact of assumed genetic mutations Assumption: Genetic mutation leads to increased CHD incidence. Policy terms: Age 35, term 10 years Risk Increased CHD incidence factors None 0% +48% +432% +2288% Diab Type % +310% +808% +3206% Type 2 +60% +123% +621% +3020% Chol1 +4% +55% +465% +2416% Chol2 +33% +114% +758% +3829% BP1 +6% +61% +490% +2506% BP2 +43% +131% +825% +4080% 20

21 Conclusions Model can be used for CI insurance underwriting, Quantifying the impact of genetic mutations on insurance costs. Underwriting: Decisions comparable with practice apart from decisions for Type 2 Diab and Chol2. Genetics Mutations affecting CHD/Stroke directly: Significant impact. Mutations affecting risk factors: Minor impact. 21
