Co-sponsored by
the Academy and the SOA Medicare reform, GASB 45 and the ability to save for
retiree health are hot issues. The presenters at this seminar examine consulting issues
associated with retiree medical. This seminar is for the advanced actuarial
practitioner who wants to hear and discuss new issues and the future of
retiree medical. Issues discussed include:
- Options for employers to integrate their pharmacy
coverage with the new Medicare Part D program. The seminar panelists
review plan offerings and bids for 2006. Other topics include the
exploration of the three integration approaches:
-
Maintaining coverage and filing for the 28%
federal subsidy;
-
Providing a supplemental plan and coordinating
with the private Part D plans; and
-
Providing enhanced coverage through a Part D plan
(either a private plan or employer-sponsored plan).
- Retiree medical accrual accounting for
governmental employers. The presenters cover the core problems
of understanding, measuring, and communicating the implicit
subsidy inherent on most pre-65 governmental sponsored
plans, and selecting a discount rate for unfunded plans
subject to GASB 45.
- Update on the Erie Decision, recent EEOC/AARP
interactions and their impact on employer-sponsored coverage
This seminar is a unique forum for an
update as to what is happening and sharing views on the
future. It runs from 2:00 – 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday, November
2, and 8:00 – Noon on Thursday, November 3.
