	“Predictive modeling can help payers estimate and plan for the impact of rising specialty drug costs; for instance, by predicting the rate at which patients will adopt specific new therapies. Rather than relying solely on industry trends, stakeholders may benefit from building models that account for their specific populations and circumstances. There may also be opportunities for payers and clinicians to build models aimed at identifying opportunities to manage care for individuals now with the hope of avoiding the need for those patients to take costly specialty medications in the future.” - Hans K Leida PhD FSA MAAA, Principal and Consulting Actuary, Milliman Inc.
