😓 Many health plans are still navigating challenges attached to Medicaid enrollment losses. So ICYMI: Here is a breakdown of 4 considerations to help combat these changes: 1️⃣ Collaboration is Key: Partner with other health plans, community organizations, and technology providers to leverage a broad spectrum of expertise and resources. 2️⃣ Clear Communication: Maintain consistent communication strategies to help members transition smoothly and understand their coverage options. 3️⃣ Optimize Resources: Use AI and automation to handle repetitive tasks, freeing up staff to focus on critical member support. 4️⃣ Simplify Enrollment: Make it easy for members to move to alternative coverage options. Provide a seamless, single-sign-on shopping experience for medical, dental, vision, and supplemental coverage. By focusing on these strategies, you can effectively pivot to the ACA Marketplace and support members through the transition. #HealthPlans #Medicaid #ACA
