Long-term care Advanced Risk Analytics (LARA)

Manage the risks of your in-force and on-claim populations with the right intelligence

The challenge

Growing LTC costs create strain for payers trying to manage these risks

LTCI carriers invest substantial resources in pursuit of necessary rate increases and reduced claims fraud, waste, and abuse. These efforts alone may not suffice in the long run.

As time passes since many LTC policies were issued, LTCI carriers generally know very little about their in-force population. Additional knowledge gaps may occur within on-claim populations that are likely to transition from home health care to more intensive sites. These gaps make it difficult to proactively manage the health and claim activity of the most at-risk policyholders.

LARA SOLUTIONS

Analyze unique data for intelligent insight

Milliman LARA® leverages the industry-renowned expertise of Milliman consultants to uncover powerful insights about your LTCI population. It uses predictive analytics, LTCI claimant data, and proprietary datasets to identify your high-risk policyholders before they reach severe stages of LTC needs.

Early intervention empowers you to drive better health outcomes, improving a policyholder’s quality of life by helping them age in place. Using a focused solution for these interventions drives return on investment.

Pair relevant data with industry-leading models

Milliman LTCI consultants develop predictive models using actual historical LTCI claims, appended with powerful third-party and other proprietary data. This approach provides a new layer of intelligence and insight for insurers to understand the current health, risks, and needs of both their in-force and on-claim policyholders.
