New Data: In ACA’s Second Year, Healthcare Consumers are Ready to Shop
As the second healthcare marketplace open enrollment begins, one thing is clear: consumers will be shopping.
Results of a survey Media Logic conducted with Competiscan in the weeks just prior to open enrollment indicate that although 61 percent of those enrolled in health plans via state or federal exchanges are satisfied with their health plans, 61 percent also “plan to or may” shop for new plans. Only 40 percent of those intending to shop are looking for different plans from the same insurer they enrolled with in 2014.
With marketing strategies of health plans already in full swing, the task before healthcare marketers now is two-fold: monitor these consumer behaviors and be prepared with adjustments that can make a difference in this year’s enrollment numbers.
The full report from Competiscan and Media Logic, which will be available in the next few weeks, will highlight current and relevant data from healthcare consumers and address opportunity areas for insurers.
