If there is one thing to be avoided in the insurance business, it is uncertainty. The next few years promise tons of it.
While providers have availed themselves of Provider Relief Funds and PPP to offset the unexpected costs of caring for COVID-19 patients, office closures and other pandemic related expenses, insurers, thus far anyway, have no such luxury. It is one thing to understand that patients, when they return to the doctor or hospital will be sicker and cost more money. It is quite another to turn that into an actuarially sound forecast model and a PMPM price.
As Property & Casualty insurers faced a reckoning after Hurricane Andrew hit the east coast in the 1990's, health insurers have some adjusting to do, which implicates the entire health care system. As was the case in the 1990s bigger is probably going to be better.
