Listen Later

In this episode of Astonishing Healthcare, Judi Health's Sam Custer, who leads the member communications team, shares tips and insights on how to communicate effectively with plan members - around open enrollment and throughout the year. Sam last joined us for Episode 39, which highlighted how the communications and product teams collaborated to ensure we provide clear, compliant communication materials to Medicare members to meet CMS requirements, and this time, we dive into how to educate plan members at open enrollment and throughout the year. After all, as Marsha Perry, our head of benefits and compensation, explained during Episode 72 - The Benefits You Probably Didn't Know You Have, benefits-related education is more than just a once-a-year thing (during open enrollment).

Sam describes how we approach understanding each client's unique needs and the importance of consistent messaging across all channels. We dive into ways to keep members informed throughout the year, the benefits of in-person/on-site events, and much more. If you're a "benefits nerd" like us (and Marsha 😀), this episode is for you.
