SUMMARY:Private Healthcare Exchanges Conference
DESCRIPTION:The Private Healthcare Exchanges conference July 16-17 in Chicago will focus on how the Affordable Care Act is changing the way insurers sell health insurance. Instead of marketing almost exclusively to employers\, the ACA has forced insurers to focus on enrolling consumers. The conference is sponsored by Employee Benefit News.

SUMMARY:Rates of Change: Putting 2015 Insurance Premiums into Context
DESCRIPTION:Rates of Change: Putting 2015 Insurance Premiums into Context will air live on C-SPAN 2 at 12:00 PM ET. \nHealth insurance premiums have been one of the most closely-watched features of the new health insurance marketplaces. In 2014\, insurers set rates based on limited data about who would sign up for coverage. Round II of open enrollment is fast approaching\, allowing little time to process the first year’s data and to prepare for tomorrow. For 2015\, some analysts anticipate increases of 10 percent or less\, while others forecast growth of 20 percent or more. \nWherever these numbers ultimately land\, they are likely to vary from state to state\, with different effects on consumers\, providers\, insurers and the federal budget. This briefing will focus on factors influencing insurance premiums\, state and federal regulatory roles in reviewing rates\, and what to expect in 2015. A distinguished panel of experts will examine these and related issues. \nJonathan Gruber\, professor of economics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology\, will provide an historical context for today’s rate increases\, identifying salient trends in premium setting before and after the passage of the Affordable Care Act. \nCori Uccello\, actuary and senior health fellow at the American Academy of Actuaries\, will identify the dominant factors that influence the rate-setting process in private insurance and address how those factors have translated into the new online exchanges. \nDavid Cusano\, senior research fellow at the Center on Health Insurance Reforms at the Georgetown University Health Policy Institute\, will address state and federal rate review programs\, and examine variability in approaches to transparency and review of the rate-setting process. \nElizabeth Hall\, vice president for federal affairs at WellPoint\, will share a private insurer’s perspective on the challenges of providing and pricing health coverage in new markets with significant regulatory variation and limited claims data. \nEd Howard of the Alliance and Rachel Nuzum of Commonwealth will co-moderate. \nContact: Sarah Dash (202)789-2300; sarahdash@allhealth.org \nWatch live on C-SPAN 2 at 12:00 PM ET \nFollow the Briefing on Twitter: #Rates2015 \nThe event is sponsored by the nonpartisan Alliance for Health Reform and The Commonwealth Fund.
