Luckily …

The Medicare Advantage flex card powered by 亚洲色吧 is here to help! 

With the Medicare Advantage flex card, members enjoy quick access to funds via a VISA or Mastercard-restricted, prepaid debit card for supplemental benefits like dental, vision, hearing, fitness, chiropractic, acupuncture, groceries, OTC products, healthy foods, home services, and more!

Overview of the Medicare Advantage flex card

This card helps deliver a flexible, simple, supplemental benefit tailored by health plans to  cover one or more categories that best suit member needs.

The best part? The card gives members the flexibility they need to spend their dollars in the way that works best for their unique healthcare needs. 

Here is a quick overview of how it works:

• 亚洲色吧 gives you the ability to access a private-labeled, ready-to-use debit card.
• You create flexible supplemental benefits accounts that cover one or more categories based on your member needs (with the help of industry experts).
• You share the card with your members to improve engagement, satisfaction, and retention.

Better yet鈥�

亚洲色吧 makes it easy for health plans to lead with their brand, customize the experience, define configuration and spending, meet requirements, leverage analytics to create a better user experience, integrate member reimbursement, and select an ideal service level based on the needs of their population. 

Bottom line: You can use this flexibility to create a better, simplified experience for members.

Grocery + OTC benefit

As one of the first to provide debit card-based supplemental benefits to Medicare Advantage members, 亚洲色吧 also offers health plans the ability to leverage this card for their  grocery + OTC offering! This functionality makes it easy for members to purchase healthy foods and over-the-counter items at places they regularly shop. 

Here鈥檚 a quick rundown of how it works:

1. A member shops at a participating merchant.
2. They swipe their grocery and/or OTC debit card at the point of sale.
3. Approved grocery + OTC items are automatically paid for using their debit card.
4. Any unapproved items can be paid for by your member at the same time, with a different card.

Using filtered spend technology, grocery + OTC debit card transactions are automatically approved at a universal product code (UPC) level for groceries, over-the-counter items (including mail order), meal kit and meal replacement, approved produce delivery services, and more!  

With merchants in all 50 states using an approved product list, members can use their grocery + OTC benefit at places they regularly shop, boosting engagement and satisfaction with their benefits.

Combined with the user experience our Medicare Advantage flex card already provides, we are excited to offer this functionality to further simplify the member experience.

Updates in the Medicare Advantage industry

SIGIS recently announced that IIAS could be leveraged for OTC purchases from Medicare/Medicaid plans. With this announcement, SIGIS is acknowledging the growing popularity of the flexibility and convenience that a Medicare Advantage flex card provides. While this is great news, know that there are gaps in the items that are covered using the IIAS eligible product list and that the IIAS list eligible product does not equal a CMS-approved product list. 

The lesson? Make sure you鈥檙e taking the needs of your population into consideration, and leveraging 亚洲色吧鈥檚 expertise to help you build the right benefit for your population with technology that can adapt to the rapidly changing needs of the market.

Leadership teams love analytics because they can use them to make key business decisions.

Operational teams love analytics because they can use that information to drive efficiencies in their processes.

Marketing teams REALLY love analytics because they can use that information in campaigns or write blog posts about them. *cough*

But, for our partners, do you want to know what group loves analytics the most?

Your prospects.

They want to see proof that your product and/or services are going to help them optimize their workflows, drive revenue, and help them make data-driven decisions about how to manage and grow their benefit offerings.

尝耻肠办颈濒测鈥�

You can impress leadership, operations, marketing, and most importantly, your prospects, with the data included in benefit analytics from 亚洲色吧.

As 亚洲色吧 partners continue to adopt benefit analytics and implement them into their conversations with clients and prospects, they are seeing that not only does it help drive the conversations and educate their clients, but also gives them a competitive advantage.

A quote from Gary Knight, president of ProBenefits, a third-party administrator that specializes in CDH and COBRA, is a perfect testimonial to the power of benefit analytics: 鈥淓ducating and informing employers about their benefits is at the center of what we do. We are excited to use benefit analytics to not only help our clients understand their benefit plans, but also use the data as a competitive advantage within our industry.鈥� 

Benefit analytics for partners

Benefit analytics for partners is the most comprehensive analytics version 亚洲色吧 offers, and gives partners the insights needed to:

• Evaluate account and plan performance to optimize benefit offerings
• Assess operational efficiency to drive client satisfaction and retention
• Measure consumer engagement to maximize account growth
• Benchmark performance to gain powerful insight about your market position.

It鈥檚 a powerful tool for both internal teams, as well as providing you with the data needed to drive conversations with prospects, consultants/brokers, and existing clients.

Benefit analytics for employers

Benefit analytics for employers is a simplified version of partner analytics, while still providing partners and employers with the insights needed to:

• Track employee engagement to improve future benefit offerings
• View how employees interact with their benefits to identify education gaps and promote utilization
• Compare benefit offerings to similar companies 

With the ability to grant self-service access on an employer-by-employer basis, benefit analytics for employers is an incredible way to share the power of data with employers as they make decisions about their benefit offerings.

Can鈥檛 decide between benefit analytics for employers or benefit analytics for partners? You can add both to your workflow to not only get the benefit of the comprehensive partner analytics, but the convenient self-service option for employers. And when you鈥檙e ready to get started, reach out to your account executive.

The power of (being one of the first to offer) data

Access to analytics within the benefits industry is currently limited, especially options for both comprehensive and self-service analytics for employers.

So when you鈥檙e the one of the few who can provide it to your leadership, operations, marketing teams, and most importantly, your prospects鈥�

To help with data-driven decisions鈥�.

To optimize workflows鈥�

To drive revenue…

And to position yourself as a data leader at the sales table…

It鈥檚 a win for you (and everyone else).

Benefit analytics for partners

Evaluate account and plan performance to optimize your benefit offerings.

And with our analytics, it鈥檚 not. You can correctly identify what offerings work best for your clients (and your bottom line) and use that data to drive your decisions.

Efficient operations reduce wasted time and wasted money on processes that frustrate clients. Benefit analytics enables you to assess operational efficiency and identify opportunities to improve client satisfaction and retention.

Boosted efficiency is a win-win for your business and your clients.

Measure consumer engagement to maximize account growth.

With our analytics, you can view how often your employers鈥� participants are interacting with their accounts and how financially ready they are to pay for out-of-pocket expenses. Using this information, you can deploy tactics to help employees understand their benefits, engage with their account, and increase contributions. This helps prepare them for health care expenses AND drives revenue for your business.

When serving your clients and their participants is the goal of everything you do, this data is invaluable.

Benchmark performance to gain powerful insight about your market position.

Knowing how you compare to the marketplace is key to understanding how your business is performing.

Using our analytics, you can easily compare your performance with the rest of the 亚洲色吧 ecosystem (which includes hundreds of thousands of employers and tens of millions of consumers) and use that to inform decisions about how to boost performance or differentiate yourself from the market.
