It is time to rethink the Annual Enrollment Period. "For those of us who serve the needs of Medicare beneficiaries, it is clear the current AEP model no longer supports the needs of 33 million Medicare Advantage members or those enrolled in Original Medicare," states eHealth, Inc. CEO Fran Soistman. This year’s enrollment season will be more dynamic than recent years, and extending AEP by a week or introducing a Special Enrollment Period (SEP) could significantly benefit millions, he says. #medicare #AEP #insurance

As the Medicare enrollment period approaches, beneficiaries are facing a "perfect storm" of challenges, says eHealth, Inc.’s CEO, Fran Soistman. Soistman is urging CMS to extend its deadline for this year's enrollment period. "In 2014, we had 15 million Americans in Medicare Advantage.Today, that number has more than doubled to 33 million. This adds immense pressure to the seven-week AEP, where all current enrollees must review changes to their existing plans and explore new coverage options for 2025," Soistman tells Newsweek.

https://loom.ly/hGvSl9s Do you carefully read everything you get in the mail from your insurance company? Be honest! According to new research published by eHealth, only 48% of Medicare beneficiaries can answer “Yes” to that question. Failing to read the fine print could prove costly for beneficiaries come September as insurance companies notify their Medicare Advantage and Medicare Part D enrollees of important changes in costs and benefits. If you have questions or concerns about the changes described in your Annual Notice of Change letter, talk to your insurance company or to a licensed health insurance agent to understand how these changes will impact you. #medicarebeneficiaries #insurancecompany

Is it time to rethink employer-sponsored healthcare? eHealth, Inc.'s Bree Bacon asks that question in an article published today in Forbes. The answer may lie with an individual coverage health reimbursement arrangement, or ICHRA for short. Between 2023 and 2024, ICHRA adoption increased nearly 30%, and government estimates project millions could be enrolled in ICHRA plans in the coming years. As Bree notes, at eHealth, we help employers understand if ICHRA is right for them. We’ve saved thousands of dollars per year for employers compared to traditional group health coverage, while helping their employees enroll in coverage and supporting them with online tools and licensed benefits advisors throughout their healthcare journey. Annual health plan renewal notices for employers are just around the corner in August and September. If employers experience sticker shock at the rising costs of providing healthcare to their employees, we are here to help with ICHRA plans or other solutions that not only save costs but give their employees much-needed access to affordable, quality health care. #ICHRA #healthcare #groupinsurance
