loooooool relying on reinsurance to "stablize" the state health care markets.

quote:

Traditional risk adjustment does not predict the presence of extremely high-cost enrollees with precision since predicted plan liabilities reflect the average cost for individuals with a given set of age, sex, and diagnosis characteristics. Since the distribution of spending is skewed toward high-cost enrollees, these individuals are responsible for a large portion of total spending. As a consequence, even with risk adjustment in place, issuers retain an incentive to engage in risk selection in order to avoid these very high-cost enrollees. To mitigate any such residual incentive for risk selection, we could seek to insulate issuers against these high cost enrollees through the risk adjustment methodology.

In greater detail, risk adjustment uses a model to predict costs based on certain identifying characteristics of a population. In the HHS-HCC model, age, sex, health conditions (as established by certain diagnoses), metal level, and cost-sharing reduction status are used to predict costs. This modeling process works well with average people in each category of characteristics. For each category of characteristics, the model underpredicts the costs of people whose costs are far above the average (such as those with expensive, acute events during the risk adjustment year), and similarly, overpredicts the costs of people whose costs are far below the average. Although risk adjustment seeks to accurately predict the average health risk for the entirety of a health plan’s enrollees, to the degree that the plan experiences extreme cost outliers, this goal might not be realized. The potential problem of extreme cost outliers affects the process of establishing the risk adjustment factors (through calibration) as well as the predictive power of the model in risk adjustment operations.

quote:

Reinsurance Payments and Permanent Risk Adjustment Transfers for the 2014 Benefit Year,”58 whereby issuers were notified of 2014 benefit year risk adjustment transfer amounts, we received feedback from issuers that some HHS risk adjustment transfers negatively affected some issuers.

quote:

Problematic data had to be corrected or the issuer would receive a default risk adjustment charge and/or forego reinsurance payments.

https://www.cms.gov/CCIIO/Resources/Forms-Reports-and-Other-Resources/Downloads/RA-March-31-White-Paper-032416.pdf

This is an agency white paper so the language is loving mild, but in their technolese they're expressing a) reinsurance didn't work because b) it didn't cover the costs insurers claimed c) so insurers would rather just discriminate against people with ill health or d) pass the cost to those same patients.

You give insurance companies an inch, and they'll take a thorax.
