Breaking Down Barriers: Enhancing Medicare Advantage Member Engagement & Experience with Technology

About the webinar

With the 2023 Annual Election Period (AEP) for Medicare Advantage (MA) plans quickly approaching, payers are preparing to enroll new MA members and retain current members. For many payers, the looming thought of rapid dis-enrollment is likely top-of-mind. And, given that the average Medicare beneficiary has access to over 30 Medicare Advantage plans, there is certainly no shortage of options to choose from. The good news? Technology can help.

During our August “Lark Learning Session,” we will dive into the current state of Medicare Advantage plans - emphasizing the challenges and opportunities associated with member engagement, enrollment, and experience - and the importance of identifying technology solutions to offer beneficiaries that will support your organization and your members immediately upon enrollment.

Attendees will walk away with:

• How to identify issues impacting your organization such as rapid disenrollment
• The critical role digital solutions play in increasing MA engagement, activation, and access
• Attributes to look for in a digital solution for MA members
• An understanding of Lark’s technology and its clinical team’s latest research

We hope you will join us!
