Trend Forecast Model

The complexities in current health care costs require a new approach to managing trend forecasting. While all payer groups manage their trend forecasting process, the level of depth varies based on size and complexities of each organization.

The Trend Forecast Model™  can help payers price their products and services competitively.

Accurate medical expense forecasting

Pricing too high can decrease sales and pricing too low can erode company profits. In this environment of thin margins, properly managing the forecasting process is crucial. Managing the trend forecast at the detailed level and “rolling-up” the components to a summarized view has proved to be a better way to forecast trend.

Value:

∙ Manage forecasting process
∙ Price products and services at competitive level
∙ Streamline trend forecasting by standardizing internal processes
