Key Insights

Medicare Advantage information needs to be presented in easy to understand layman's terms that explains plan coverage and costs in a comparative grid format. Attendance at community meetings is preferred to be able to have questions answered in person. Most effective means of informing about community meetings is via information received in the mail and large, colorful newspaper inserts.

Comparative plan benefit grids and marketing materials were created based on insights as well as full page color newspaper and direct mail ads about open enrollment and community information meetings.
