Adverse selection and adverse retention

Article Abstract:

An analysis of adverse selection and adverse retention in the healthcare industry reveals that changes in the demographic mix have resulted from adverse retention which in turn results in adverse selection. The study also points out that adverse retention is roughly three-fifths of total adverse selection with the degree of both factors depending on provisions and management ability of different plans, the length of time the plans have been offered and the heterogeneity of the population.
