HOW HEALTHCARE INCENTIVE PROGRAMS GO BEYOND MEMBER RETENTION
Each year, health plans spend millions on recruitment marketing to attract new members, but they don’t make the same investments to retain current members. Over the last few years, plans are understanding the importance of not only keeping their members but keeping them healthy. One component of this recent movement is healthcare incentive programs. These programs reward members for participating in healthy behaviors.
As more and more members come to expect these incentives, it’s important to examine your current incentive program to ensure it’s meeting your objectives. Doing so can differentiate your company from other health plans. And with competition between companies always increasing, you can proudly share about your plan’s rewards.
