WEBINAR ON DEMAND
Duration: 1 hour

Income disparities, loneliness, isolation and lack of access to technology are social determinants of health (SDoH) that account for 30% to 55% of health outcomes. These also have a disproportionate impact on certain populations, including communities of color, those with lower socioeconomic status and LGBTQ+ groups. That’s why Medicare Advantage plan providers are evaluating how to focus on SDoH, ahead of the changes to the Health Equity Index and Star Ratings coming in 2027.

What are the risks of waiting to create and implement an HEI strategy? Watch the webinar to learn how insurers can do their part  to address health equity among Medicare Advantage plan enrollees – and improve their plan Star Ratings. Topics include:

• Why health equity is a hot topic among Medicare Advantage providers.
• The role insurers can play in reducing disparities in care.
• The impact of the Health Equity Index on Star Ratings.
• Actions to take now to level up the member experience and become a 5-star plan.
