Description
This opportunity, offered by the Society of Actuaries (SOA) Research Institute, seeks proposals for research focused on analyzing annual trends in the incidence and severity of healthcare claims in key Middle East health insurance markets, especially Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. The project aims to collect and aggregate claims data from insurers and public programs, delivering in-depth analysis of healthcare product trends—including causes of claim incidence, drivers of claim severity, and breakdowns by claim type (e.g., pharmaceuticals, physician visits, inpatient/outpatient services). The ultimate goal is to generate actionable insights that support the actuarial profession and inform public awareness of healthcare risks and coverage needs.
