IAAHS On January 27, the IAAHS held a joint webcast with the AAA—A Discussion on International Risk Adjustment—presented by John Bertko and Dr. John Hsu. John Bertko shared what he had learned from the annual European Risk Adjustment Network meeting, and provided an overview of the risk adjustment systems in place in several European countries and Israel. John Hsu talked about the United States risk adjustment program that was put in place for the under-65 population in 2014, and the research project he was working on regarding the application of the Affordable Care Act risk adjustment program in the California Individual marketplace. Close to 500 sites and more than 800 individuals joined the webcast. More online events will take place in 2016, to be held jointly with IAA member associations or IAA committees.
