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.
