Abstract

El presente trabajo tiene el propósito de estimar de una forma complementaria a la metodología tradicional o actuarial una prima de gastos médicos mayores utilizando la teoría Black-Scholes de opciones financieras. Se proponen cuatro variables independientes de salud como variables subyacentes donde la combinación ponderada de sus primas como opciones financieras tipo call europeas determinará la prima total que adicionalmente tendría que sumarse sobre todos los días del año. El equivalente del precio de ejercicio es el límite máximo para no caer en una emergencia de salud recomendados en cada una de las variables. El trabajo presenta limitaciones en su análisis debido a la escasa cantidad de información histórica de las variables de salud y a las simplificaciones para encontrar su solución / The present paper intends to estimate the medical care services insurance premium, using the Black-Scholes financial option theory as a complement to the traditional or actuarial methodology. Four independent variables for Health are used as underlying variables. The weighted average of the premium of each variable, estimated as European Call Options, will add to the total premium, and this will have to be added daily to estimate the year premium. The equivalent of exercise price is the maximum limit before reaching a Health emergency for each variable. This work has limitations due to the shortage of the Health Sector historical data and to the model simplification carried on in order to find a possible solution
