Description

In any version of self-funding, you’ll need to know your premium equivalent rates—what to budget for, what to deduct from employees, and how to keep your health plan sustainable. That’s where a skilled, independent actuary comes in.


To unpack this crucial role, I’m joined by my friend and insurance expert Nick Allen, a career actuary and the Founder/CEO of Blue Raven. Together, we kick off a 2-part series that dives into:


  • The value actuaries bring to employers & HR teams
  • How premium equivalent rates are calculated
  • Why independence matters in actuarial work
  • How actuaries fit into the larger ecosystem of health plans


This series will give you the clarity and confidence to make smarter, data-driven decisions about your benefits. Don’t miss it!
