Description
Since its original publication in 1992, Group Insurance has become the resource of choice for experts as well as beginners. It is an essential tool for anyone who wishes to practice in the group benefits field.
The text is a comprehensive treatment of all aspects of group insurance in the United States and Canada. It addresses life and health insurance as well as government programs and more specialized forms of benefit plans. While offering a broad view of group insurance products and markets, the book also emphasizes actuarial aspects of the business, including pricing, regulation, underwriting, financial reporting, and modeling.
The eighth edition of Group contains many important enhancements. It addresses the most recent market and regulatory changes in the United States and Canada. It contains an expanded treatment of health policy issues, including a new introductory chapter with broader historical context. Other new chapters address group insurance benefits outside North America and the rapidly growing market for supplemental health benefits.
