Risk adjustment, quality and engagement

Member Engagement Solutions

We offer healthcare member engagement services to help health plans precisely target the right members and efficiently deliver programs based on member needs.

Drive enrollment and better member outcomes 

Today, there are more than 66 million Medicare beneficiaries1 with 37% living at or below the federal poverty level2, and only 12.2M are dual-enrolled in Medicare and Medicaid3. This represents a significant opportunity to identify more dual eligible and drive more enrollments.

There are several potential barriers to enrollment and participation, including lack of awareness, burdensome application process, hard to reach population, misconception about the purpose of the program and potential asset reporting. 

Optum offers a full suite of solutions to help health plans improve their members’ quality of life by identifying and providing access to assistance they may need, including:  

  • Eligibility and enrollment: Services to help identify and enroll members in valuable government and social programs
  • Engagement and outreach: Multichannel outreach solutions deliver health education and care assistance
