Project Period: 09/30/2004 - 09/29/2006
The objective of this application is to establish and quantify the effect of deductibles on health care costs/utilization of people with SA diagnoses. The paper seeks to fill a knowledge gap, currently existing in the field, where relationships between copayments/coinsurance and medical costs have been researched extensively, but where the similar effects of deductibles have not yet been comprehensively established. A new semi-parametric method, the Conditional Density Estimator, based on hazard rate analysis, will be used: It has recently been shown to be the best available method for modeling the effects of step-variables like deductibles and coverage limits, and also the best method for approximating health costs distribution. Results of the study are expected to enable insurers to design better cost containment strategies, leading to more stability in consumer premiums as well. SA parity implications: recommendations will be formulated, aiming at reduction of discriminatory practices in insurance coverage of the SA population.
