Plan Year 2027 (PY27) Maximum Fair Price (MFP) negotiations under the Inflation Reduction Act unfolded against the backdrop of Trump-era Most Favored Nation (MFN) executive orders and a volatile Part D market. Final MFPs are set, and CMS has published the methodology behind them. This webinar decodes what those prices reveal about the current administration’s drug-pricing trajectory, manufacturer margin outlook and pipeline risk, and the stability of Part D premiums and formularies. We’ll connect therapeutic-class patterns and comparator choices to likely plan behavior—tiering, utilization management (UM), and benefit-channel steering—and near-term contracting dynamics. Walk away from this CCA healthcare series webinar with a concise playbook for how PY27 MFPs will shape 2026–2028 strategy for payers and manufacturers.

In today's dynamic and data-driven professional environment, consulting actuaries are often tasked with navigating complex internal and external relationships, managing pressure under tight deadlines, and translating insights into meaningful action. Emotional intelligence – recognizing and managing emotions in ourselves and others – can elevate professional effectiveness, resilience, and leadership impact. This CCA cross discipline webinar will blend theory with real-world applications tailored to the consulting actuary's role.

Building Influence, Clarity, and Leadership Presence in Technical Decision Environments

In today’s complex, data-driven workplace, analytical rigor alone does not create influence. As actuaries work across cross-functional teams, guide high-stakes decisions, and present insights to non-technical leaders, executive presence has become a strategic leadership capability. It shapes how messages are received, how expertise is valued, and how decisions move forward.

This CCA cross discipline webinar helps participants strengthen the presence, clarity, and advisory impact required to lead in environments where precision must pair with persuasion. Designed for actuaries and technical professionals, the session explores how perception, mindset, and communication behaviors influence trust and credibility.

Participants will learn how to elevate their leadership presence, frame insights more strategically, and strengthen their ability to influence diverse stakeholders. They will leave with practical approaches to communicate with confidence, adapt in high-pressure conversations, and contribute more effectively at senior levels.

Learning Objectives

• Define executive presence in an actuarial context.
• Recognize how perception, clarity, and confidence influence stakeholder trust.
• Shift from technical expert to strategic advisor through intentional communication.
