Identification: WED02
Medicare Advantage Plans are faced with resounding challenges as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, with member engagement being at the top of the list. Current CMS guidance allows for using prior HEDIS® and CAHPs survey scores, which may be positive or detrimental to a plan’s success dependent on their position. Moreover, most providers have seen substantially less patients in Q1, so, the big question is, how do you double down on member engagement in the second half of the year to catch up?
Attendees will walk away with the tools and tactical know-how to:
- Keep up with the changing quality guidelines for health plans, including the change of CAHPs survey scores to four way
- Implement CAHPS improvement strategies and customer service operations to optimize member experience
- Assess the member experience with telehealth and understand the implications moving forward
- Plan for a second wave of COVID-19 and strategies to close gaps in the meantime
