Retention Support

Support health plan members through the recertification process for government programs to facilitate maximum coverage of healthcare needs.

Support your members while improving performance

Our Retention Support solution uses a member-centric approach to remind, educate and assist dual, Medicaid-only and low-income subsidy (LIS) members through recertification. We use proprietary, state-specific data to identify key renewal dates and prioritize outreach, aiming to facilitate a smooth and efficient process.

Simplify identification and improve member retention

Retain Medicaid benefits for dual eligibles

Missing the Medicaid renewal grace period results in losing Part B premium reimbursement and LIS status, affecting Medicare Part D prescription drug benefits. Reapplication can take over 90 days, causing a 3-month loss of benefits and increased capitation for payers.

Member-centric, end-to-end engagement

Optum manages the entire recertification process, including live agent support and government-relations assistance for additional information requests and reapplications.

High Medicaid retention and member engagement

We pursue a 50% engagement success rate and facilitate an additional 10–20% in member retention through customized outreach and education based on state requirements.
