THE MEDICAL AND HEALTHCARE ACTUARY
Health actuaries analyze potential risks, profits and trends that will affect their employers, which are often in the health insurance, government health services and medical provider industries. They advise companies on issuing policies to consumers based on risks, calculated premiums and upcoming changes in health-care costs.
It’s common for an actuary to have a bachelor’s degree or higher in actuary studies, mathematics or statistics. Coursework on medical terminology and hierarchy of the medical field is also beneficial. In addition to academic education, certification is also necessary to reach “professional status,” which is required by most employers.

The professional organization, Society of Actuaries, certifies actuaries in the health and medical field. Their statistical work is commonly done with predictive tables, probability tables and life tables that are created on customized statistical analysis software such as Stata or XLSTAT.
The actuary field as a whole is growing faster than other fields, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics [BLS]. In 2020, it expanded by 27 percent. The average annual salary for an actuary in 2010 was $87,650. More specifically, in the health insurance field, the salary was slightly higher at $91,000.
