Medicare Advantage Growth Analytics

WHAT WE DO

Challenges we solve



Sales and marketing effectiveness



Shifting consumer behavior, evolving regulations and nuanced market dynamics raise the stakes for sales and marketing teams to innovate. MA plans also must win broker mind share and differentiate themselves in a commoditized market.

Bringing science into decision-making



Many MA plans use more art than science to make critical growth decisions such as market expansion, benefit design updates and marketing budget allocation. Plans need to learn from other industries and use data and analytics to make key growth decisions.

Product differentiation



The competitive MA market has eroded distinctiveness among health plans. Many now offer features and benefits that often are differentiated only by pricing and network options. MA plans must cut costs while adding attractive supplemental benefits.

Sustaining quality performance



Regulatory changes related to the Star Ratings program, including an increased emphasis on member experience measures, and continuously increasing benchmarks present significant challenges for MA plans to maintain and improve their quality scores.

Impact by the numbers

We are the right partner to fuel MA plan growth with deep healthcare and data expertise and a strong record in co-creating advanced analytics solutions.
