Employees value choice when it comes to health benefits. When employers facilitate these choices, the method for setting employee premium contributions can create selection bias toward certain options. Selection bias happens when a sicker and more costly population tends to choose one option over another. In order to reduce the selection bias, employers should adjust each option for morbidity. Risk adjustment is used to adjust applicable costs of two or more cohorts of people so all cohorts can be compared as if each had the same morbidity.

In this session, Milliman's Ben Diederich helps to provide a deeper understanding of the concepts of selection bias and risk adjustment, the methodologies involved in setting contribution levels without and with risk adjustment, and insights and implications of the application of risk adjustment in various settings.
