Description
This grant opportunity, offered by the Society of Actuaries (SOA) Research Institute, funds research projects that analyze and report on healthcare claim trends, incidence, and severity for a range of healthcare products across Asia Pacific insurance markets. The primary goal is to aggregate claims data from both public and commercial insurers in countries such as Hong Kong, Malaysia, Taiwan, Thailand, Korea, Japan, Singapore, Indonesia, Philippines, and Vietnam, among others. The research should provide insights into claim types, causes, and risk factors, with an emphasis on educating the public about financial security risks and the importance of healthcare coverage. Deliverables are expected to include annual (at minimum) reports highlighting trends and actionable findings for both the actuarial profession and public audiences.
