Tips for Your Health Actuary Job Search
Tailor your resume to exam progress
List every passed actuarial exam individually with the month and year you passed. Hiring managers for health actuary roles screen by exam count before reading anything else, so bury these and your resume gets filtered out first.
Highlight health-specific technical tools
General actuarial software experience is not enough. Call out SAS, R, Python, or SQL in the context of claims data, IBNR modeling, or ACA rate filings so recruiters can match you to health-focused roles, not just any actuarial opening.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists health actuary openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Filter by credentialing requirements before applying
Some roles require ASA or FSA credentials from the Society of Actuaries, while others accept a set number of exams passed. Read each posting carefully so you don't spend time on applications where you're technically ineligible at this stage.
Prepare a pricing or reserving case study
Health actuary interviews almost always include a technical exercise involving trend analysis, loss ratio calculations, or premium rate development. Prepare a clean example from past work or coursework you can walk through step by step under time pressure.
Negotiate using benchmark data from SOA surveys
The Society of Actuaries publishes regular compensation surveys broken down by exam level, region, and industry segment. Reference this data when discussing compensation so your ask is anchored to the profession's own benchmarks, not a general salary estimate.
Health Actuary Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most health actuarys?
The companies hiring the most health actuarys right now include CVS Health, Aon, and Oscar Health, with the largest share of openings in Texas, Georgia, and Illinois, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. Health insurers, managed care organizations, and actuarial consulting firms consistently account for the majority of open roles.
How many health actuary jobs are remote?
About 52% of health actuary openings are fully remote or hybrid as of June 2026, reflecting the data-heavy, independent nature of most actuarial work. Pricing and predictive analytics roles tend to offer the most remote flexibility, while roles tied to regulatory filing teams or client-facing consulting often require more in-office or on-site presence.
How do you become a health actuary?
Start by earning a degree in actuarial science, mathematics, or statistics, then begin passing Society of Actuaries exams while you're still in school if possible. Entry-level roles typically require at least two exams passed. Once hired, most employers support exam progress toward ASA and eventually FSA credentialing. Gaining experience specifically in health insurance pricing, reserving, or government program analytics positions you for advancement into senior and consulting roles.
How do you get hired as a health actuary with little experience?
Focus on exam count first since passing even one or two SOA exams signals commitment and separates you from candidates without any credentials. Internships at health insurers or actuarial consulting firms give you claims data exposure that entry-level postings specifically ask for. Coursework in survival models, regression, or healthcare economics also strengthens your application when you have limited professional history to show.
What does the health actuary interview process look like?
Most health actuary interviews include an initial screening call focused on exam progress and technical background, followed by a technical round where you work through a pricing or loss ratio problem. Later rounds typically involve a panel with the actuarial team and a hiring manager focused on your experience with health data and regulatory knowledge. Some employers also assign a take-home case study involving trend analysis or rate development before the final round.
Where can I find and apply to health actuary jobs?
You can find and apply to health actuary jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States in one place. Search the listings to find roles that match your exam level, specialization, and preferred location, then apply directly to each one that fits.
