ClearPATH Actuarial Value Calculator

The value of plan design changes has always been of interest at renewal time for employers. Changing plan designs to keep up with inflation and dampen renewal increases is sometimes an annual event. However, determining the value has been cumbersome – either ask the carrier for numerous options, use a table of pre-packaged plans, or, use the clumsy and approximate federal calculator. The third option, re-computing the entire claim data set under a different plan design seems accurate, but will require some intense resources and can be very misleading since the claims mix is erratic year to year. Last year’s claims are generally not the best estimate of next year’s claims.

The phrase “Actuarial Value” embedded in the 2010 Accountable Care Act raised awareness and interest in this concept. Plans with a minimum Actuarial Value of 60%, were considered sufficient to avoid penalties.

The ability for brokers and employers to make side-by-side comparisons of health insurance products — based on their actuarial value — provides great strategic advantage for plan modeling and financial planning of employee benefit plans.

How does the ClearPATH Actuarial Calculator compare to the Federal Calculator?

For each plan simulated, the value found using our calculator fell within two percentage points of the AV score estimated by the federal calculator. These results demonstrate the accuracy of ClearPATH, and they provide support for the validity and usefulness of the ClearPATH Actuarial Calculator. You can download our full report here.
